Pair of WD Chairs

On my recent trip to London, I spotted these in the Churchil war rooms (worth a visit).

They look Georgian Oak to me - they were made during the second world war period. WD stands for War Department.

Made by the military and were used as 'meeting chair'. They are more generous in size and much more comfortable the Georgian chairs, which are usually very fragile. Covered in luxurious hounds tooth etro fabric from Italy.
