With children and teachers heading back to the classroom this month, September’s Chair of the Month is this teacher’s chair.
It is a Windsor chair with lath back and foot-rest, made in about 1910 and used in Bell Street School, Princes Risborough. Classes were much larger then and often included children of all ages – up to the leaving age of 12 – so the teacher needed a tall seat to see what was going on!
This chair can be viewed in the chair galleries at Wycombe Museum, with free entry to all galleries.
Chair of the Month is a partnership between Wycombe Museum and the Regional Furniture Society.
