Lincolnshire Caistor lath back high back Windsor armchair WS 30

This is just a wonderfully designed and made chair - I sit on it every day to have my meals. I bought this one several years ago from an antique shop in Coningsby (now closed) because of the similarities with the Caistor chair: compare this chair with WS 28 and WS 31. The similarities in the turnings run across all three chairs in slightly different combinations: I think you will agree that they all came from Caistor.

WS 19 Lincolnshire comb back side chair with stylised fleur de lys splat

Unsigned chair with many features of a later Lincolnshire side chair - shaped ends to the top comb and decorative back splat make this slightly different to anything in Dr Bernard Cotton's The English Regional Chair: my guess is that it was made by G Wilson of Grantham on Manthorpe Rd.
