An Entity of Type : ecrm:E8_Acquisition, within Data Space : data.silknow.org associated with source document(s)

Given to the Museum by Sir Alan Drury, who was Director of the Lister Institute, London, from 1943-52. Three photographs on the Acquisition Registered File (Nominal File: Drury, Sir Alan, CBE, MD, MA/1/D1669) show the armchair in a sitting room. The address of Sir Alan was given as the Lister Institute and it seems likely that it came when he was, perhaps, moving from official quarters on his retirement. Sir Alan had given two 17th-century chairs to the National Trust and Robin Fedden of the National Trust had recommended that he offer the chair to the Museum. According to a letter from Robin Fedden to Ralph Edwards, Keeper of Furniture and Woodwork, it was 'reputed to have come from Paris as loot in 1870', i.e. after the siege of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War. The style is indicative of that date but there is no other information to support it, or to suggest when it was acquired by the Drury family.
