Chair of the Month for March is even smaller than last month’s Chair of the Month!
It’s a miniature chair about 6cm high, made by High Wycombe manufacturer Nicholls and Janes in 1922. It’s a duplicate of the furniture set they made for the Queen Mary Doll’s House, which is displayed at Windsor Castle.
Nicholls and Janes took over the buildings of Widgington’s, the first factory in High Wycombe, and number 3 of the 8 sites on our ‘Here, Chair & Everywhere’ heritage walking trail. See Chairmaking Town Trail • Wycombe Museum for more information on the trail and to download a guide.
The guide includes more information on Nicholls and Janes, Widgington and other important town centre furniture sites. Look out for the new trail boards in town, including the former Nicholls and Janes site near Bucks New University.
Chair of the Month is a partnership between Wycombe Museum and the Regional Furniture Society.
