The Perceval Compton Windsor chair
The Perceval Compton chair is a painted windsor chair with armorial bearings and inscriptions.The significance of it lies in the fact that it appears to be one of the very few dateable eighteenth century Windsors that can be attributed to a specific time and place. This chair was probably one of a set,designed to commemorate the wedding of John Perceval then 2nd Earl of Egmont, to his second wife Catherine Compton in 1756 and was for 'Enmore Castle' in Somerset. Another from the same set can be seen in the V&A Museum, London.
Enmore and a date 1756 is painted on the arm bow.

Mid 19th century Tyrol low back chair.
At first glance it looks to be an American Windsor with the plank seat and the tapered hexagonal legs at an angle far greater than English Windsor’s. This style of chair normally is very minimalist in its design with out a top bow.This chair was made in the Tyrol circa 1840
The original design probably derived from the Italian sgabello chair, not a true windsor chair but of similar construction and interesting because of its simple design.
The sticks are fixed to the seat by wedges under the seat.
The plank seat is oak the turnings and arm look to be fruit wood the legs of a soft wood.
