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

36
Cabinet maker’s armchair, from Batemans Auctioneers, Stamford. Re-rushed seat. These last three chairs, No. 34, No. 35 & No. 36, have every component made out of elm wood; pattern of chairs is not specific to Lincs but to Eastern coastal counties. Even the smallest town in Georgian times would have had a cabinet maker’s workshop, producing all manner of domestic furniture including these elegant chairs. (1780-1830).
