The International Exhibition: garden-chair of the Coalbrookdale Company, 1862. Garden-chair '...wrought of fem-leaves...The garden-chair is formed chiefly of cast iron, but the seat is judiciously constructed of wooden laths; in the work generally sharp corners and pointed protuberances are avoided; and this quality speaks very favourably for the designer, even so much so that were it otherwise it would at once have to suffer ignominious condemnation, however exalted in other respects'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
