Readers will know by now that I will stop at nothing in my fervent researches to bring them more Windsor chairs. So you will be delighted at my latest discovery, stumbled across whilst doing some other research, which is Mother Hubbard's dog's Windsor chair. Could be West Country from the look of that continuous arm bow and those front leg turnings. As the
drawings are so splendid, I have included all the pages. They are utterly charming. The V&A thinks the illustrations may be by Robert Branston (1778-1827).
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
