It's furniture research time again and I could use some help!I am looking for some better/detailed/complete pictures of folding chairs that were depicted in Memmling's works. (Particularly interested in the arms and back panel design. I didn't find anything from Dürer but if you happen to see one, please let me know! I'm looking for Flemish designs, not english.) Here is a partial picture but it is incomplete.  Figure 4: Detail from Bathsheba at the Bath, Hans Memmling, 1480s. Stüttgart Museum. (Picture courtesy from AlbionWorks Furniture.)

The rest of that picture doesn't help much with looking at the chair back. I don't remember seeing that style of chair in any other paintings, though he's got good details of benches on the left and right wings of the Moreel Family Triptych. [ 04-23-2004: Message edited by: Karen Larsdatter ]

I found stools and thrones but not glastonbury style chairs.So, pleading for possibly more... Have you come across any of this style of chair for Germany and/or Italy? I'm looking for good examples of the top of the back panel (its shape) to compare to? Does any of the better museums like the National Museum in Nürnberg Germany (or elsewhere) have something you've seen? Thanks!!! Peter

I am interested in finding out what the frame of this bed looks like. I would like to see how it was put together and whether it used rope or slats for mattress support.  How would I go about this? How do I find what museum it is now in, and whom do I email? -------------------- Woodcrafter
