Very interesting talk on the history of chairs in High Wycombe. Lovely turned wood art and other art in the gallery. Well worth a visit.
-
We really enjoyed our visit to the chair making museum a few months ago, and have since used some of the information we learned to help us better understand antique furniture while visiting museums & antique stores. The guide was very knowledgeable & generous with his time. It was a bit difficult to find the location due to out dated signage on the sign posts around town.

Brilliant place for local history and to learn how to turn wood.

The place may be small but Robert is a grata guide and very passionate about his work and the history there . The art gallery in the top has some wonderful pieces in it .

Artists and craftspeople display a number of their designs for all to see. These vary from exquisitely crafted products in wood to produce many different designs such as bowls or in one case a large wooden leaf which looked magnificent. There are paintings, Jewellery, Decorated eggs, Art in Felt or Resin, Sculptures and Photography. To top all this is a Chair Museum depicting what was High Wycombe in its chair manufacturing heyday.
