Thomas Sheraton noted about a related library chair pattern that it was 'intended to make the exercise of reading easy' (T. Sheraton, The Cabinet Dictionary, London, 1803, pl. 5). This type of chair was adopted by the Strand cabinet-makers Morgan and Sanders, and one of their related 'library reading chairs' featured in R. Ackermann's Repository of Arts, in September 1810.
