Amish Bowback Chairs

Many of our Amish chairs are available as either side chairs (without arms) or arm chairs (with arms). Our Amish furniture can be stained in a variety of colors. All stains, which serve only to color the wood, are protected with several coats of clear satin lacquer. The most popular finish is golden oak. Probably 90% of our furniture is sold in the golden stain. Many Amish chairs are available in cherry wood: some are available in hickory or maple wood as well.

Tall Feather Amish Chair

The wider flared part of the spindle is rounded and feather shaped as opposed to the angle cut of the arrow. Size 21x21x40. Click on the thumbnail for a larger image.

Wheatsheaf Windsor Amish Chair

The small curved spindles in the back of the Wheatsheaf Windsor Amish chair are gently drawn up to form a graceful "wheat sheaf." The comfort level is quite good, as the small spindles are almost imperceptible as individual pieces. Size 19x18x39.

Tall Bentback Amish Chair

The tall Bentback chair has a gentle lumbar support to the back spindles and is one of our top five sellers. This chair is a favorite for those who do not want to sit up straight at the table but like a subtle laid back feeling. The legs are turned but can be special ordered in a smooth or plain leg. Size 19x21x40.

Tall Arrow Amish Chair

The Tall Arrow Amish chair looks just like a standard short arrow side chair but is about 3 inches taller giving the chair a little more presence compared with the table. The extra height is good for high ceilings or where you simply want the dining group to take more space. Tall chairs tend to give a little more formal feel to the group although this is in no way a formal chair. Size 21x21x40.

Short Bentback Amish Chair

The short bent back chair combines the enduring Windsor bowback with a bent slat that is kind to the lower back. Chairs with bent lumbar slats are the best selling Amish-crafted chairs. This feature can be found in the Windsor bowback style here, either tall back or short, and also in the mission-style chair. Although the popularity of the Windsor bowback is slowing along with the overall decline of country and traditional styles, the chair will remain a steady standby due to the reliability of the Windsor construction. The fact that the steam-bent bow comes forward from the spindle 4-5 inches where it is fastened to the seat, means that the design needs no further post brackets to reinforce the back. We have sold thousands of Windsor style chairs, including commercial applications where chairs receive rough use, and the chair continues to be reliable. Of course, as always, wood and stain choice make these chairs commonsense companions to furniture you already own.
