Lebus Link Chair

I found this chair at Maresfield Tip, Not bad for £5!

It had some quite hideous fabric which I removed only to discover the original upholstery.

Only after getting it home did I realise it is a Lebus Link Chair. - Harris Lebus was a furniture manufacturer in London. It is closely associated with the Arts and Crafts Movement, particularly for it's work in bringing the movement to the masses. It became known as one of the largest furniture manufacturers in the world.

I decided to give the chair a bit of a make over. (Although I have left the original upholstery intact.)
