Yealmpton Windsor chairs are distinctive handcrafted chairs originating from the village of Yealmpton in Devon, England. Renowned for their unique design, these chairs feature continuous arms that seamlessly curve into the back hoop, a style exclusive to this region in the UK.

Comparative Literature: Bernard D Cotton; "The English Regional Chair"; ACC, Woodbridge 1990, Page 276, Fig.SW46. Cotton states; "This design is described within the American tradition as the continuous arm Windsor', since the arms and back are made from a single cleft segment of wood, bent to form an attractive flowing line, resulting in a style of great elegance.
