The Biddenham Arnchair is a generous wide chair with highly
styled arms and front legs. The Biddenham is a solid design, and
is based on an Edwardian design featuring in J P Whites
catalogues of garden furniture from the beginning of the 1920's.
It is a traditional Victorian outdoor furniture, solid in
construction but elegant in design. The fretwork slats of the
back are a strong feature of the Biddenham design. I travelled
to Madagascar in 2008 and have seen very similar fretwork on
balustrades of old houses and have wondered if perhaps the
origins of the fretwork are the same.
