Researcher Notes
Chairs with shaped wooden seats, turned legs, and turned, vertical back spindles were called Windsor chairs in eighteenth and nineteenth-century America. During the period, Windsors were painted. Green or black were among the common color choices. This example, like so many, was stripped of its paint at some point. It most likely came from the Lexington area where numerous chairmakers were active in the early 1800s. Bob Noe notebook #5, item #538
