The distinctive pattern back features on a chair illustrated in H.Cescinsky, English Furniture from Gothic to Sheraton, New York, 1937, p.344. An example from a set with the same back differing only in a carved rather than inlaid central roundel is illustrated in C.Claxton-Stevens and S.Whittington, Eighteenth Century English Furniture: The Norman Adams Collection, Woodbridge, Suffolk, 1983, p.76.
