craftsmen originally for use in cottage and farmhouse. That craftsmen was the withdrawn
artisan from London in 17th century. It eventually formed handmade-production. Later years, as demand increased, many were made in factories and the
processes were mechanized. Chair manufacture became a thriving business
in late nineteenth century and in twenty century came to introduce of mass
