Patterns for related 'easy chairs' or bergère chairs with cane upholstery and hermed feet featured in Thomas Sheraton's The Cabinet Dictionary, London, 1803 (pl. 8). A related bergère with richly moulded rails was supplied by Thomas Chippendale Junior (d. 1822) for Stourhead, Wiltshire (illustrated in M. Jourdain, Regency Furniture 1795-1830, London, 1949, p. 79, fig. 36). This whimsical model combines various styles in the manner of Thomas Chippendale Senior's The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, published between 1754 and 1763. It comprises a serpentined French-fashioned back, with an 'antique' reeded rail and tablet displaying Venus-shell badge amongst triumphal palms, while its legs are enriched with Gothic cusps and quatrefoils.
