Lot Essay

The chairs correspond to a design by Gillows in a Drawing Room elevation amongst Gillows' early 19th century watercolours for room elevations in the Victoria and Albert Museum (E.47-1952). The chairs in the watercolour have reading stands, just as described in Gillows' Memorandum. Related chairs include a pair supplied to William Powlett, 2nd Baron Bolton, for Hackwood Park, Hampshire, sold Christies, 20, 21 & 22 April 1998, lot 55 (£84,000 including premium).
