Specialist note

Chairs of distinctive English design were often produced by Far Eastern manufactories, the designs being delivered to Chinese workshops for construction in exotic hard woods such as padouk, rather than traditional walnut or mahogany. What is fascintaing, and highly unusual about these chairs is that that they are made from laburnam, and thus Scottish.
