Christopher Dresser's first designs directly attributed to him for the Coalbrookdale Foundry were registered and patented at the Public Record Office on 18th February, 1867 (design number 206162) and seat numbers 45 (Waterplant) and 51 in their 1875 Castings Catalogue, Section III, pages 251 and 257. The present seat appears on the same page of the 1875 catalogue and although no direct link has been established through the documentation that exists in the Ironbridge Gorge Museum archive, it seems probable that he was responsible for the design.
