A set of medallion-back chairs of related form, enriched with flutes and flowers, were commissioned by Lyonel Tollemache, 4th Earl of Dysart shortly after his inheritance of Ham House, Surrey in 1770. The latter corresponds to a chair illustrated on the late 1770s trade-card of Messrs. Vickers and Rutledge of Conduit Street (M. Tomlin, Catalogue of Adam Period Furniture, London, 1982, no. P/10).
