A pattern for a related richly-carved double-ended tête à tête seat with acroteria-capped pilasters was published in The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Guide, pl. XXXXI, 1826, by George Smith, who had served as 'Upholder' to George IV as Prince of Wales. He also provided patterns for 'Gothic Drawing Room' furniture with cusp-arched enrichments to the pilasters accompanied by trailing foliage in the frieze' and which related to the contemporary style of furniture introduced by the architect A.W.N. Pugin and manufactured by Messrs. Morel & Seddon for Windsor Castle (see: C. Wainwright, Pugin, London, 1994, fig. 48)
