Elm wood has a long history of use in furniture construction in Britain and Europe, dating back to medieval times. Elm was highly valued for its strength, durability, and attractive grain patterns, and its resistance to rot and decay, making it a popular choice for furniture. During the 17th and 18th centuries, elm was widely used for a variety of furniture styles, including Queen Anne, Chippendale, and Georgian. Elm was also commonly used for the construction of Windsor chairs, which were popular in England and America during the 18th and 19th centuries.
