Lincolnshire Caistor lath back high back Windsor armchair WS 31
If it is agreed that WS 30 was made in Caistor then take a good look at this one - compare the legs and stretchers , study those two back turnings, contrast the underarm supports: this surely came from the same workshop.

    I have two old chairs, one short legged and one Windsor inherited through both sides of my family. The Windsor was my great grandfathers who had Salutation Inn in Nettleton in the 1880s. The short legged nursing style chair cane via my mothers family, probably similar vintage but quite different. Are you interested in seeing photos?
