Lot Essay

Hall chairs supplied for Ragley Hall, Worcestershire about 1757 also relate to the Chippendale pattern (see A. Onslow ,'Ragley Hall', Country Life, 8 May 1958, p. 1009, fig. 10). A pair of chairs at Cottesbrooke Hall, Northamptonshire feature the same back as this pair, but have straight legs in place of the antiquarian X-shaped stool form with its patera enrichments (see J. Cornforth, 'Cottesbrooke Hall', Country Life, 24 Feb 1994, fig. 3)
