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

Although there is no maker's name stamped on this chair it is similar to other George Wilson chairs. This type are referred to as a high back bow back or hoop back Windsor: whereas one such as this chair by George Wilson is referred to as a low back bow back Windsor.
