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

Lincolnshire comb back Windsor side chair, probably by a Grantham maker, with curved crest rail, turned stiles, 6 long spindles, straight seat sides, 2 ring front leg turnings with vase feet, plain back legs and H stretcher WS 17
This chair shows all the hallmarks of a Grantham side chair though it is unsigned: it shares many features with figures NE 119 and NE 120 on p. 136 of Dr B D Cotton's The English Regional Chair (1990).
