The Queen’s Chair
The Queen unwittingly acted as saleswoman recently, when she again visited the Olympia section of the British Industries Fair. A reproduction of a Chippendale chair was borrowed from a stall as a scat for the Queen in the lift. A United States buyer followed the chair as it was being taken back,told the stall attendant “That’s my chair—the one the Queen sat on—and I’ll take three dozen replicas of it.’’ The Queen spoke for a time to the head man of the firm and admired his hand-made reproductions.
