Lot Essay

These elegantly-serpentined chairs, designed in the Louis XV manner, relate to the fashionable 'French' or 'cabriolet' chairs of the 1760s and 70s such as were illustrated by Thomas Chippendale in his Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, 1762, pl. XXIII, and Thomas Malton in his Compleat Treatise on Perspective, 1775, pl. XXXIII, fig. 131.
