Windsor Chairs: Sack Back
"I would highly recommend these chairs for anyone suffering with back problems. They provide a great deal of support for the spine and so may help take the pressure off pain sensitive structures".........Kay Pearce. Chiropractor. BSc(Hons), MSc, DC
Sack Back Windsor chairs are a popular American style similar in concept to the English Double Bow, but these are equally at home in any type of interior. This example is made of Ash wood with an antiqued 'stain, shellac and wax' finish. Sack Backs are inherently strong due to their design, and also lend themselves to special sizes and shapes. Please see below for some variants.
The front edge of the arm rails on all my Sack Backs are chamfered for greater comfort.
Companion dining chairs also available.
This Sack Back has one extra back stick, so is a bit wider than a standard chair. It is made of Oak, with a beautiful figured Oak seat, all with a natural oiled finish to bring out the best of the figuring.
Companion dining chairs also available.
This extra wide version has two extra back sticks making it almost six inches wider than standard. The Ash wood is bare, waiting for a finish specified by the customer. Legs and arm posts are slightly stronger than normal, suitable for the heaviest of people, or for those who like to sit and read with the cat curled up beside them by the fire.
These chairs are particularly suitable for those who find difficulty in rising from a soft armchair.
These chairs were all made with English turnings in locally grown beech. Two have been painted, then sealed and waxed. The black colour is particularly powerful. In the fullness of time the paint will wear through at the edges with constant use and produce a beautiful antique effect. The one in the middle was stained dark then sealed and waxed. All three have oval seats.
Companion dining chairs also available.
