Footnote
The current lot comes from Moro House, 20 Blackheath Park, former residence of architect Peter Moro, from whom the current owner purchased the present lot. Moro was a modernist architect who worked under Berthold Lubetkin at Tecton in the 1930s. He went onto design interiors for the Royal Festival Hall and worked on several notable commissions, including the Nottingham Playhouse. According to the vendor, Moro purchased the chair in the 1970s, later painting the frame blue.
