An Elm Chair is a chair constructed primarily from elm timber, valued for its strength, durability and attractive interlocking grain. Elm was widely used in country furniture throughout Britain due to its resistance to splitting, making it ideal for Windsor chairs, farmhouse seating and vernacular furniture. Antique elm chairs are admired for their robust character and warm patina. *Related Terms*\ Country Furniture, Elm, Farmhouse Furniture, Windsor Chair, Wooden Chair.
