Dining Chair
About this object
This 1850s oak Dining chair was once part of Squire James Taylor's personal furniture collection from his Marlborough House residence in Swan Street, Morpeth. The chair was exclusively ordered for the Morpeth household from England and has been donated by Taylor's descendants into the Museum's collection. Taylor was a merchant, shipping agent, landlord and Bonded Store owner whose importance to Morpeth’s early history has seen a lasting legacy. It has been surmised that this could be the very chair from which Taylor periodically threw his dinners out the window - plate and all if it was not to his liking.
