Edward William Godwin (attributed) for William A. and S. Smee, an Anglo-Japanese walnut spindle back armchair, with a re-upholstered yellow leather seat, metal label.

Godwin designed for W.A. and S. Smee, 89 Finsbury Pavement, London and his designs were exhibited by them at the Furniture Trades Exhibition in 1883. See Azlin, Elizabeth 'E.W. Godwin' London: John Murray, p. 22.

Godwin,' p. 112.
