Augustus Charles Pugin (1762-1832) was a French-born British artist, draughtsman & writer known for his detailed architectural illustrations and Gothic designs. He influenced the Gothic Revival movement through works like 'Specimens of Gothic Archite
A. W. N. Pugin was one of England´s most influential designers in the 1830s and 1840s. His commissions included furniture for Windsor Castle and the interiors of the Houses of Parliament in London.Pugin believed English Gothic architecture should be the basis for the country’s national style. To him, it was the only appropriate style for English public institutions. This chair form was originally designed for the Prince’s Chamber in the House of Lords. Although those 16 chairs remain in the House of Lords, this chair is one of six (identical except for their upholstery) known outside Westminster.
