The general form of the fluted frame relates to a design for the green and gold drawing-room 'cabriole elbow chairs' at Audley End, Essex executed in 1771 under the direction of the architect Robert Adam (d.1792) by Messrs Gordon and Taitt of Swallow Street (J. Cornforth, 'Audley End, Essex-T, Country Life, 27 December 1990, pp.32 and 3).
