<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Niczn, post: 13121394, member: 77399&quot;]Good Afternoon, </p><p><br /></p><p>I collected two identical chairs recently. Below is a breakdown of the limited information I&#039;ve found online. Any clarity or expertise on this would be greatly appreciated. </p><p><br /></p><p>- Late Victorian or Edwardian Windsor Lathback (or stick-back) kitchen chairs</p><p>- Dating from around 1890 to 1915 Identifying the Design &amp; Materials </p><p>- Classic traits of mass-produced English country vernacular furniture. High Wycombe was a major production hub for these during that era.</p><p>- 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.</p><p>- The Carvings: The &quot;GB&quot; and &quot;21&quot; stamps match the style of institutional markings. &quot;GB&quot; likely stands for a regional government body, railway network, or specific workhouse/institution board, while &quot;21&quot; denotes the room or inventory asset number.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance! </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]559203[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]559204[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]559205[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]559206[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]559207[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
