If Windsor chairs were violins, the Continuous Arm would be the Stradivarius. It represents the apotheosis of the style by its finesse and elegance.

A single piece, bent in three places, forms the bow and the arms. The shield shaped seat is elegantly carved and very comfortable. There are nine spindles braced with two support spindles.

This model, inspired by the models made in the city and state of New-York, has a tailpiece that supports two spindles who give more rigidity and durability to the chair.
