    Hi all, hope someone can help.
    I've just purchased the above from our local auction. I'm trying to shed some light as to the providence of
    it.
    I've done so much research and so far I have the following information -
    Coronation chair A mahogany chair used in the coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra in 1902 that is stamped with "GLENISTER MAKER WYCOMBE" on the front seat rail and "ER VII (with a small crown) CORONATION" on the back edge of the rear seat rail
    Work chair An 1890s chair with original rexine upholstery that is stamped and numbered.
    My chair is stamped SK43 GRV (and possibly i), I can't quite make it out. But it also hast a Crest stamp. I can't find any information about the Crest stamp.
    I am in England.
    Sorry for the long post and thank you very much in advance for any information

    Our experts will most likely need pics of the crest & any other details.They'll be able to tell you what they need.
    Sounds like you're a pretty fair researcher !

    Thank you. I tried to upload pictures of the Crest but it said it was too big. I'm not sure how to get it on

    100-300 sounds a much more sensible price.
