Chair Fancier’s Fair
Last September I attended a celebratory reception at London’s Museum of the Home in honour of Bill and Gerry Cotton. Their work in identifying the distinct regional styles and makers of vernacular furniture lead to the most important book on chairmaking that I own - “The English Regional Chair”, published in 1990.
Tempting Fête
Summer’s sort of here…in this little corner of Buckinghamshire that means it’s village fête season.
