The chair-pattern relates to that of a set provided in the late 18th Century by George Seddon & Sons and J. Shackleton for Hauteville House, Guernsey. Copies of these chairs were manufactured in the 1880s by Messrs. Wright and Mansfield of New Bond Street, and one of these chairs, also numbered 4736, was purchased in 1887 by the South Kensington Museum (now the Victoria & Albert Museum) (M. Tomlin, Catalogue of Adam Period Furniture, London, 1982, P/7 and P/8).
