<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 639102, member: 2844&quot;]The owner (UK National Trust) doesn&#039;t &#039;want to hide or doesn&#039;t really appreciate&#039; anything. That is your interpretation, and frankly, judgment of the people of the National Trust who do a great job restoring and nurturing historical pieces.</p><p>I know you want to study the chair, but to suggest lack of interest or appreciation by the British National Trust is really going too far.</p><p><br /></p><p>In reality it is of course Winston Churchill&#039;s chair in his painting studio in Chartwell, but you already knew that.</p><p>His painter&#039;s smock is simply there to give the impression of the studio as it was when he was still using it. Happens all the time with famous people&#039;s living rooms, studies, studio&#039;s, etc. Glasses, pens, coats and hats are put there as if the person was still using it. None of those items are ever meant to hide nor are they left there because the owner doesn&#039;t appreciate whatever is underneath. It is simply recreating an atmosphere, and a suggestion of the presence of a great man or woman.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe this will help you understand why they draped the smock over Churchill&#039;s studio chair:</p><p><img src="https://sunsetsandsuitcases.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/chartwell-17.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
