Default Queen's Windsor Chair at Jamestown

Anyway getting back to the Windsor chair not the most attractive design
too much machining for me .Prefer the ones made by the bodgers wherever
they could find a source of wood [many places including Windsor],the ones
with the crelated stretchers the yew wood bentwood and the elm seats
...mjh



Have any of you been to Bayou Bend (Houston) and seen the collection of
Windsor Chairs they have?
If you haven't and your close by, it's worth the trip.

You'll see some Newport, Philadelphia, and Boston secretaries and cases
also.
