| Notes: | Furniture donated by London College of Furniture. Made by the students. Early 18th Century walnut chair. Queen Anne style. Made by R Kinsey. Walnut was introduced as a furniture timber towards the end of the 17th century and became popular in the Royal, household, and the homes of the nobility. The skills introduced by foreign craftsmen (some came over with William of Orange) brought about the introduction of the trade of cabinet making. The chair is constructed from solid walnut, yet the back upright, s are cross-band veneered on the flat fron surfaces, as are the outer edges of the seat frame. Veneering here is shown as it was originally introduced as a decorative feature. | ||||
