This large stick back side chair has been lovingly made in English ash for Steve by Sitting Firm Chairmakers. The style is typical of chairs originating in the Chiltern Hills, particularly the area around High Wycombe.
A Stick Back Side Chair is a type of dining chair that’s similar to a Spindle Back chair, featuring multiple vertical wooden rods or “sticks” running between the top rail and seat. The design is characterized by its simplicity and clean lines, with the vertical sticks creating an airy, open appearance while providing good back support.
The Stick Back design evolved from the Windsor chair tradition and represents a straightforward, functional approach to chair making. The vertical sticks offer flexibility and comfort while using minimal materials. This style remains popular in country, farmhouse, and casual dining settings due to its understated elegance and durability.
