<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 4385374, member: 6444&quot;]Not that it matters what the different American Windsor styles are called (since these names were given by 20th century dealers and collectors which wouldn&#039;t have been recognized back when these were being made anyway). But I&#039;m afraid google let you down this time - Brad had the correct name of &quot;mule-ear&quot; windsor. These were very late in the history of windsors, many of them made in the midwest (ohio etc); that was where the population growth was back then so that is where they needed chairs and other furniture.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Arrow back refers to the spindles that are kind of shaped like elongated arrow heads. Here is a thread about an original painted &quot;arrow-back&quot; windsor I have. Santore dates a very similar painted chair to New England in the first quarter 19th century, so earlier than the mule-eared example. But I think you can see how the later and simpler mule-ear type evolved from an arrow back like this: <a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/windsor-in-nice-original-paint.41923/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/windsor-in-nice-original-paint.41923/">https://www.antiquers.com/threads/windsor-in-nice-original-paint.41923/</a></p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/p8121470-jpg.203693/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
