E.W. PUGIN (1834-1875) GOTHIC REVIVAL CHAIR, CIRCA 1870 oak, with velvet upholstery, later but of the period
(47.5cm wide, 84cm high, 42cm deep)
Literature: V&A Accession no W.1-1991 Note: This chair is identical to chairs designed by Edward Welby Pugin for the Grange, his family home, in Ramsgate in about 1864. The Grange was designed and built circa 1843 by his father A.W.N. Pugin who also designed the original furniture. After A.W.N. Pugin's death in 1852, the house was let until 1864 when the Pugin family returned. E.W. Pugin inherited his father's architectural practice and followed the same principles when designing furniture. This chair shows A.W.N. Pugin's preference for revealed construction in the pegs holding the legs and stretchers together. E.W. Pugin combined his father's ideas with new details of his own such as the broad back support.
