Summary
An upholstered reading chair, the top covers of which are weave-patterned with green fruit on a red ground, tapering legs on castors. Reading lecturn on brass support on right arm. The chair has a largely unlined loose cover made from undyed plain weave cotton chintz, printed in shades of green with a geometric design of interlocking squares. There is a hole in the right top arm of the cover to allow for the insertion of the lectern’s support. The cover has a plain skirt at the lower edge, with box pleats at each corner. Many of the seams are trimmed with self piping. The cover fastens at the outer left back, and is machine stitched.
