Product Details
AN HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT CHAIR FROM THE MAYORAL CHAMBERS AT LÜNEBURG,
of ladder-back design and made from natural oak with unrestored leather-covered horse hair seat (tears to leather), the cresting rail carved in relief showing the town's coat of arms with the mid-rail carved in gothic script 'Stadt Lüneburg', the lower rail, again carved in relief with the date '1939' interspersed with a Mobile, or Sun-Wheel Swastika
Other Notes: Exactly how this chair came to be with Dempsey is not fully known, but the family understands that it was taken from the town's Mayoral Chamber by men of the Second Army and presented to Dempsey shortly before the German surrender at Lüneburg Heath.
