Lincolnshire comb back Windsor side chair with turned stiles, 6 long spindles, straight seat sides, ball turning and thin cove front legs, plain back legs, H stretcher WS 94
From a private collection. The story behind this chair is that it was rescued from a skip, with a split seat and a broken stile (outer back support). It has been skillfully repaired and a replacement turned back support made. This stamped Grantham chair was way too good to be discarded and has now been recorded for all to enjoy and for academic research. Stamped with a bold impression on the seat edge: CAMM GRANTHAM.
