Research Request

    John Alexander seeks the donation, loan or purchase of 18th and early 19th century Windsor or post and rung chairs which are damaged beyond repair or any of their parts. He is particularly interested in Windsor chairs with H-stretcher understructure, legs, stretchers, seats and parts thereof. The parts will be used only for research and publication. All such parts, together with those already in his collection, will ultimately be donated to a responsible institution for preservation and study. Loans will be returned.
