Lot Essay

These chairs fall within the Nottinghamshire/Lincolnshire chair making traditions; examples have been recorded with labels of retailers trading from further afield which suggests that these traders purchased directly from the makers.
See B. Cotton The English Regional Chair, Woodbridge, 1990, p.128, fig NE76 for a similar example to this lot bearing the label of Collison's Furniture Warehouse Hull
