The Comb-back Windsor Carver Chair (circa 1740) has a back that resembles a hair comb; hence its name.

The back is formed by seven to nine spindles rising out of the seat through the arm rail and capped by a steam-bent crest rail that usually has "ears" projecting beyond the back spindles with one, two or three hand-carved volutes.

This chair can either be made as a single bow or double bow carver chair.

The seat is usually the English shield or D-shape.

The mark of the chairmaker Every item I craft has my initials ‘RBH’ and the year it was made, either carved on the underside or has an embedded plaque. Each item is issued with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
