With newborn babies on our minds, we liked the look of these Windsor-style chairs which can be useful at a table with a bundle in one hand and a bottle or indeed a cup of tea in the other.
Inspired by one of the most popular styles of the 1800s, the restored chairs feature hand-shaped elm seats, traditional ash hooped backs and perfectly proportioned turned legs.The carver is priced at €347 and an armless side chair at €290.
