Footnotes

  • These chairs are likely to have been made by students of William Alexander Wallis Elloway, a tutor in the creative design department of what is now Loughbrough University, from about 1952 until circa 1983. He specialised in cabinet making and joinery and was good friends with Ernest Barnsley.
