A kind commenter pointed out that this chair was sold at Bonhams in 2019. Indeed it was. Here is the lot description:
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
This comb-back was for sale at Bonhams in 2019. Recognised by the long 'ink stain' on the splat. There was an interesting provenance with it.
ReplyDeleteThank you: I have updated the post to include the lot notes from the catalogue
