Harleian MS. 603 is an Anglo-Saxon illuminated psalter from the middle of the 10th century. This is the same manuscript as Fig. 239. The three chairs illustrated here do not look very comfortable, but they all lack perspective and the central one, with a minstrel leaning against it with his harp, appears to be little more than a fence without a seat at all.
