Summary
A pair of painted armchairs, English, circa 1900. Both with cane seat and arms, and loose plush-covered cushion.
Provenance
Listed in the Inventory taken at Wimpole in 1965 in the Entrance Hall (p. 1). Actual 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.
