 Windsor Bow-Back Settee NH White Pine, Oak, and Birch
41" high, 46" wide, 18" deep
The original antiques of this Windsor style are highly prized for their rarity, as well as their beauty and comfort. To duplicate the beauty of antique Windsors, we have used an antique green milk paint over red: then we've added a light coat of crackle, subtle pin-striping and antique glazing; then, as final embellishments, we have added mild distressing, finishing off with typical worn areas.

Straw Hill Chairs was started in the mid-1980's by Roger W. Scheffer, who after a career in public school teaching, moved to New Hampshire with his wife and family. While in New Hampshire, he restored many antique windsors for an antique dealer and became intrigued with the design and construction of windsors, as well as their history. This led to the creation of Straw Hill Chairs. Several years later, as business grew, his son, Peter, and then later yet, his daughter and son-in-law, Cate and Greg Chicoine, and his grandson, Daniel Scheffer, joined him in building windsor chairs. Their chairs are beautiful, comfortable and durable, with all the parts made and assembled in their shop in West Unity, New Hampshire. |
