Lincolnshire Windsor Grecian scroll back bar back side chair stamped SHIRLEY WS 72 |
Stamped by the maker William Shirley of Caistor, this bar back simple kitchen chair has distinctive leg turnings. There is a simple line drawing of a similar side chair in John Shadford's notebook (the 10th image down this webpage) with the word 'Grecian' and the price 2/6 written beneath
. This type of chair is more commonly described as a 'scroll back'. From a private collection.
