These Grecian palm-wrapped bergeres have multi-pillared arms, whose pattern appears to derive from 'Chinese' ornamental bergeres, such as those executed in 1803 in trompe l'oeil bamboo for George, Prince of Wales's Marine Pavilion, Brighton, by Messrs Elward, Marsh and Tatham (see H. Clifford Smith, Buckingham Palace, its Furniture, Decoration and History, London, 1931, fig. 324).
