After a chip supper (no fish), we spied a rather interesting Victorian chair. Whilst the chair looked OK, on closer inspection it was very wobbly and would need a to be stripped back to repair the frame joints. After some tough bidding we managed to purchase the chair for thirty guineas.

It is now residing at our off site storage facility (my sisters outbuilding…) waiting to be loved. The paisley top fabric looks original but the design puts the age at Edwardian rather than Victorian, although the legs are definitely Victorian. Hopefully when we do get round to re-upholstering this chair we’ll uncover some more clues.
