Production
Probably designed by Goodhart-Rendell, based on this entry from Betty Joel's diary in 1932: “We made all the furniture to G-R's design, funny Victorian stuff it is too. The green upholstered chairs are very good, but resemble stone work in the mouldings, and were originally designed inches too small in the seat!!”
