These chairs are stamped T.MILES. BEDMINSTER BRISTOL (workshop proprietor) and S.Pring (chair maker) on the rear edge of the seat. They are part of a set of eight made for the Library of the Bristol School for the Blind, circa 1920. Six other chairs form part of the Cotton Collection at the Geffrye Museum, London, and are the only known set of maker-provenanced West Country painted Windsors recorded to date.
