Queen Anne Windsor Dining Chairs

These Oak Windsor Antique Dining Chairs feature hand-carved Queen Anne splat back and single-piece hand scooped ash seats and oak body for a unique, one-of-a-kind look. The unique crinoline stretcher adds an unexpected touch of whimsical charm. For a sophisticated European designer look, try a set of mismatched chairs together, often referred to as a harlequin set. The term "harlequin" comes from the character of Harlequin, a comedic servant character in Italian commedia dell'arte, a type of theater popular in the 16th to 18th centuries. Harlequin was known for his distinctive costume, which was made up of a patchwork of brightly colored diamond shapes. This term emphasizes the eclectic and mismatched appearance of the set, similar to the patchwork pattern on Harlequin's costume. While a mismatched set may not be desirable to some, others may appreciate the unique character and personality that a harlequin set can bring to a room.
