Antique Chair


Our last G.P. Lynes photo shows a young man in a chair 
that was already an antique when this was made.

  1. That looks like a Victorian crinoline chair - for a lady's sitting room. No wonder he's sprawling. I have friends in Gloucestershire who have a matching pair and they are the most uncomfortable things I've ever sat on... but then, I rarely where a crinoline while trussed into a whale-bone bodice. They always say in costume drama that if you get the contemporary underwear right, you will get the right poise and movement. The above image is just the sort of period drama I like.
