Many years ago I was lucky enough to have a chair made for me. It is what I knew as a nursing chair, fairly low with a very straight back and no arms. Since I am fairly short, they adjusted the seat length - front to back - so that when I sit on it my back is firmly supported and my feet reach the floor. Ideal for a Honiton lace pillow. I had it covered in 'Imperial Blue Electrum' velvet. The name says it all, it is opulent! Wwhen I went to collect it I found that they had had it sitting in the show room for over a week as it was attracting so much attention. As I said I am very lucky and I luxuriate in it every time I make lace. Sigh..... Jane
"Regarding Lacemakers chairs - once some years ago, Helen and I went demonstrating at an Historic House here in Melbourne, and they seated us by a window (great light!), and sat us in Victorian "Ladies chairs" - so they called them. They were the Best chairs I have had to sit and make lace - very low, with a circular seat, and the back wrapped about half way around the seat, so you sat back and the back rest wrapped around you. Being low, your knees were up, - just right for resting your pillow on!!" - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
