An armchair of this same design and almost certainly en suite with this settee is illustrated in M. Harris & Sons, The English Chair, London, 1946, p.143, pl.LXXI. Similar examples of this form, derived from French prototypes, were produced by many fashionable London cabinet-makers including Chippendale, Cobb and Linnell.
