Comb Back Windsor Chair...Antique???

I have been fooled on Windsor chairs before!...Would appreciate any information on this...Antique/Age??...Wood Type??

 

No, not an antique, but looks nice. I would say oak arms and crest, rest something else (maple maybe?)

 

Looks like at least a 4 board seat and those contrasting "plugs" are definitely not old.

 

Not much wear to the feet. The ears look right. Arms not so much. The seats were traditionally pumpkin pine. Patd

 

Mixed woods. Back rail and arm rail are oak. Spindles and legs look like maple or birch. Seat looks like birch. Not antique.

 

hello sperls....nice chair ..not old but a goodie...arms and rail appear to be oak not sure other timbers...this is an American style comb back windsor and was not a type familiar in the UK. Several courses are available many countries...using old techniques...eg pole lathe, shave horse , steam cupboard,,tools used include scorps, draw knives,side axes, lathe chisels etc , making chairs in the windsor styles. the old time workers on these chairs called bodgers spent weeks in the woods in the UK turning spindles and legs from green wood to be sold in the cities for assembly...hope this insight helps regards ....pewter2
