Chairs

there was probably two types of chairs used in lullingstone. One had a rounded back which was made out of basket work. We found carvings on tombstones which show this sort of chair was normally occupied by a women. The other type of chair had a straight back but was made out of wood.

[edit] Roman chairs

I quote from this article: "The characteristic Roman chairs were of marble".

How can a characteristic chair be made of marble? Surely, characteristic chairs were made of wood (some, although more rarely, were of metal). It is the totally uncharacteristic ceremonial chairs of officeholders or bulit-in chairs for officials found in the public venues that might have been made of marble. --B.
