The
Windsor Stool
The
Windsor stool's distinctive form is the result of an inspired blend of
features commonly used in chairmaking.
Each design element is carefully crafted to complement its
neighbour; especially pleasing are the gentle curves of the seat a shape
echoed in the cabriole leg and the crinoline stretcher.
As with Windsor Chairs particular attention has been given to the sitter's comfort, this
being reflected in the subtle sculpting of the seat, not usually found
in stools. The Windsor
stool makes a delightful companion to a set of chairs, yet it has a
certain individual quality that makes it equally suited as an occasional
piece of furniture in any room.

Stretchers Bracing
the legs of chairs, stretchers are usually straight turned
spindles. An alternative form is the Crinoline stretcher constructed
from a curved spindle shaped to complement ladies' petticoats of the
19th century.
