Literature
A similar chair is illustrated in Dr B. Cotton The English Regional Chair, Woodbridge, 1991, page 256, figure EA 165.
This unusual design of Windsor chair is attributed to East Anglia on the basis that the wheat-sheaf style splat and the leg turning both appear in some Mendlesham chairs.
