Yes having looked at ...Thanks for your comments. <br /><br />Yes having looked at the chairs again I agree Bovey Belle, they were probably all pretty uncomfortable. <br /><br />I like the idea of a Hall Chair being made to be uncomfortable. I guess it would have been quite sly to make an altar chair purposefully uncomfortable...Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18199594054597664825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198332407186068564.post-41599433549252662672013-08-03T06:55:06.640-07:002013-08-03T06:55:06.640-07:00Thanks so much for your blog posts - always so ver...Thanks so much for your blog posts - always so very interesting!nillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733433402466612700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198332407186068564.post-74852187184256272002013-08-02T22:46:25.251-07:002013-08-02T22:46:25.251-07:00From experience (! having sat on a lot of Hall Cha...From experience (! having sat on a lot of Hall Chairs at auctions in my time), the first examples shown with the flat square seats would have been purgatory to sit on. In fact, the idea of the Hall Chair was to encourage visitors NOT to stay too long). The dished seats would have been more comfortable, but tbh, it is the angle of the back which makes all the difference.<br /><br />I sat in a lovely old low back Windsor chair this week and it felt made to measure . . . the angle was just right and it almost hugged you.<br /><br />Sadly, I think with the ARG chairs, form came before function . . .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.com
