Note
The coverings were given to the Archive by the Fellows' Butler, John O'Sullivan. In addition to the coverings O'Sullivan also gave a letter from W.R.Parr Cabinet Makers (who re-upholstered the chairs) which explained that fifty high table chairs were made by Holland & Son in 1868. Holland & Son were in business from 1840-1870 and their make can be found on the chairs.
The letter is missing.
