| Brief description | Bag of tacks from chair |
| Object history | Purchased from David L. Isaacs, 44 & 46 New Oxford Street as part of a larger set of two settees and eight chairs ( Registered file 1890/84500, in Nominal File MA/1/I306). The set was described as 'Worn, leg of 1 settee loose, covers all more or less damaged). Subsequently 2 chairs were sent to the museum in Dublin, one settee and two chairs to the museum in Edinburgh (both those, at the time, like the South Kensington Museum (predecessor of the V&A) directly under the control of the Department of Science and Art; it was not uncommon for sets to be split in this way, or pieces to be otherwise shared, including the cutting up of textiles or leather). The settee and two chairs that were retained by the South Kensington Museum were given the numbers 676-1890 to 680-1890 |
