The serpentine frames in the French manner relate in character to the 'cabriole' chair in Thomas Malton's Complete Treatise on Perspective, 1775, pl. XXXIII, fig. 131. The chairs evolve from a group traditionally associated with the cabinet-maker John Cobb (d.1788) of St. Martin's Lane, 'upholsterer' to King George III, and from 1761 in partnership with William Vile (d.1767).
