Fantastic (possibly unique) solid wood vintage barrel chair, with recovered foam seat, feather back cushions, and removable heart decorations in a cream and gold material, complete with makers mark 'The Thomas Glenister Company' on the base.
The Thomas Glenister Company (1839-1990). According to family tradition, Glenister's was founded by Daniel Glenister, a publican; if the chairmakers couldn't pay their tab at the bar, they made up chairs out of spare parts for him to sell. (ref www.gracesguide.co.uk).
A very heavy, solid wing back chair I believe to be made from old barrel(s), approximate measurements = 40" height to top of back (seat is 13" from the floor plus removable cushion) x 29" deep x 29" wide.
