THE DISTINCTIVE TRIPLE, ROUNDEL-CENTRED PIERCED SPLATS ARE A DECORATIVE ARRANGEMENT FOUND ON MANY CHAIRS STAMPED BY ROBERT PRIOR WHO FLOURISHED AT UXBRIDGE, MIDDLESEX UNTIL 1845. THOUGH THIS CHAIR IS NOT STAMPED, IT MAY BE PRIOR'S WORK (SEE DR. B. COTTON, THE ENGLISH REGIONAL CHAIR, WOODBRIDGE, 1991, P. 80, FIG. TV161 FOR A SIMILAR EXAMPLE AND PP. 76-80 FOR A FULLER DISCUSSION ON THE PRIOR FAMILY).
