Carved wood has always been in demand, but until the late 1800s, it was dependent upon skilled workers who could produce the carvings. But as factories geared up, there first came the spindle carved chairs followed up by pressback chairs. Oak double pressback chairs became a staple of mail-order cataloged because they looked great, but could be manufactured quickly. The pressback process was used on the backs of chairs. It worked by rolling a sharp press over the back of the chair, stamping the design into the chair. Hundreds of chairs could be quickly produced using the same pattern. “Double Pressback” meant that the designs were not just on one side, but on both. For more complex designs, the pattern could be stamped on, then a worker could quickly trace it using a power router.

Press back chairs were not intended for the rich. They were a way for people who had a little money to spend on their home to have something beautiful.
