Lot Essay

This classic design of Windsor chair is known to have been made by a number of highly-regarded makers in the Thames Valley region including Richard Hewitt (fl.1777) and John Pitt (fl.1759), both from Slough, and are characterised by the use of the cabriole leg and the variety of indigenous timbers.
