Georgian yoke-back Windsor armchair
COLLECTION ONLY (Kells, Co Meath)
Georgian yoke-back Windsor armchair (sometimes called a yoke-crest Windsor).
* Yoke-shaped crest rail at the top — the wide curved piece that looks almost like a stretched “moustache”
* Pierced central splat with decorative carving (the ornamental openwork in the middle)
* Spindled back and arms
* Saddle-shaped solid wood seat
* Cabriole front legs ending in pad feet (classic Georgian detail)
* Dark stained hardwood (often elm seat with beech or yew frame)
This style originates in late 18th–early 19th century England (Georgian / early Regency).
These were formal armchairs used in dining rooms, libraries, and studies — sometimes called a “captain’s chair” or “country house Windsor.”
