Summary
A set of three gilt-highlighted and ebonized open armchairs, English, late 19th/early 20th century, in Regency style.
Provenance
Listed in the 1939 Inventory of Wimpole and then in the 1965 Inventory as in the Entrance Hall (p. 1). Date of acquisition not recorded, but probably acquired by George Bambridge (1892 - 1943) and Elsie Bambridge (1896 - 1976), who purchased a largely empty Wimpole in 1938. The hall and contents were bequeathed to the National Trust in 1976 by Elsie Bambridge.
