CHAIR Details

Good Afternoon,

I collected two identical chairs recently. Below is a breakdown of the limited information I've found online. Any clarity or expertise on this would be greatly appreciated.

- Late Victorian or Edwardian Windsor Lathback (or stick-back) kitchen chairs
- Dating from around 1890 to 1915 Identifying the Design & Materials
- Classic traits of mass-produced English country vernacular furniture. High Wycombe was a major production hub for these during that era.
- Wood: The seats are carved from solid elm. The turned legs and backs are likely made of beech or ash, which were preferred for steam-bending.
- The Carvings: The "GB" and "21" stamps match the style of institutional markings. "GB" likely stands for a regional government body, railway network, or specific workhouse/institution board, while "21" denotes the room or inventory asset number.

Thanks in advance!
