In honour of the British seaside, we have chosen a chair with a Brighton connection for Chair of the Month in August. It was made for Preston Barracks, Brighton and although it may look like it has an arm missing, it was made as a one-armed chair. Soldiers could wear their dress swords for formal dinners without the sword getting tangled in the arm of the chair. Made in about 1890.
This chair can be seen in the Chair Galleries at Wycombe Museum.
