The Thomas Glenister Company ceased trading in the 1990s.
The site of the factory is now a supermarket, but the name of the compamy lives on in the name of the road - Glenister Road.
Items of furniture made by the Glenister company are sometimes found for sale on the web based auction site eBay.
There is a chair museum in High Wycombe, which has a pretty good collection of furniture catalogues and examples of furniture. The museum is on Priory Avenue, High Wycombe, telephone 01494 421895. Opening times are: Mon-Sat, 10am-5pm.
