Windsor armchair signed TAYLOR GRANTHAM. This is the only chair of this pattern that has ever been recorded and is unusual for two reasons. Firstly, it has very few turned components, like a cabinet maker would produce, and secondly the design is what I would expect to be produced in the Thames Valley region. I have included in this exhibition as it demonstrates that there are probably other design of chairs that were produced by the Lincolnshire chair makers and as yet undiscovered and unrecorded.
Lincolnshire Windsor & Rush seated chairs, including a catalogue of the Lincolnshire Chairs exhibition held at Alford Manor April to October 2019. Text & pictures by William Sergeant & Julian Parker. Some chairs from other regions are covered either to distinguish them from Lincolnshire chairs or for their inherent beauty. Occasional posts on other subjects happen from time to time. William Sergeant's talks about the chairs may be found in the Useful Links
