CHAIRS,

toprail with brass bosses, drop-in seats and sabre legs, the armchairs
with scroll supports, one side chair is stamped J.P. Lynch, Limerick
One of the chairs in this set is stamped J.P. Lynch, Limerick.
Joseph Lynch was a cabinet-maker and joiner who also worked as a
furniture dealer. In Limerick trade directories he is recorded at Michael
Street from 1906, but by 1914 had moved to the Columcille Factory on
Bedford Row. His stamp would indicate that the present chairs passed
through his workshop and might have been restored or even sold by him
in this early part of this century
