Chair of the Month for April is a type of Windsor chair known as a lath back kitchen chair.
The back is partly made up of thin, flat strips of wood, known as laths. Large, comfortable high-backed Windsor chairs like this were often used as fireside chairs in cottage and farmhouse kitchens. This one was made by Henry Jeffkins Ltd in 1904 in the Frogmoor area of High Wycombe. It can be seen in the Chair Lab, part of Wycombe Museum’s recently updated chair galleries.
Museum staff are in the process of adding chair records to Wycombe Museum’s selection of online records with the help of funding from the Regional Furniture Society. This chair is one of the new additions. You can search the records at the link below.
