GORDON RUSSELL - SET OF DINING CHAIRS, DESIGN COUNCIL
a set of 8 walnut stick back dining chairs with upholstered seats, from the Burford range. One with a label to the base, Design Council, 10353. 86cms high. (8)
*These chairs were formally in the Boardroom of the Design Council in Haymarket. The Design Council moved to Haymarket in 1956, so these probably date to around that time. Sir Gordon Russell was Director of the Design Council from 1947-1960. In the 1990's the Design Council had a large re organisation and the furniture including the boardroom furniture was sold off. The current vendor was formally an employee and managed to purchase the chairs from the boardroom.
