A pair of chairs from the same suite as the present lot and still retaining their floral needlework upholstery, were sold by the Executors of the late Mrs. Gladys Green, Sandal House, Wakefield, in these Rooms, 12 March 1981, lot 44. The suite may originally have included a sofa, like the set of four related walnut chairs at Temple Newsam House, that were part of a suite consisting of a sofa and six single chairs formerly belonging to the Stewart Mackenzie family, Brahan Castle, Ross-shire (C. Gilbert, Furniture at Temple Newsam House and Lotherton Hall, London, 1978, p. 76 and 78, cat. no. 59).
