The ‘lambing chair’ is a regional, popular piece of furniture that originated in the English regions of Lancashire and the Yorkshire Dales, where this type of wing chair was widespread from around 1750-1850. Its name, lambing chair, derives from the sheep farming prevalent in the region and the shepherds as individual clients.
