January’s Chair of the Month is this Art Nouveau-style carved armchair with a pink velvet-covered upholstered seat.
It was made by John R Clarke of High Wycombe in about 1905, and carved by his brother-in law Edmund Hutchinson. At the time this chair was made, several Wycombe makers were experimenting with fashionable styles like this, as well as continuing to make traditional Wycombe chairs like Windsors.
This chair is part of the latest batch recently added to our online chair database. See more at the link below!
Chair of the Month is a partnership between Wycombe Museum and the Regional Furniture Society.
