The distinctive design of these chairs with their boldly outcurved arms, relates them to a group of seat furniture executed by Pierre Nogaret. This feature, as well as the exaggerated arched cresting, relates to chairs illustrated in J. Nicolay, L'Art et la Manière des Maîtres Ébénistes Français au XVIIIe Siècle, 1976, p. 341, fig. B, E and K, and and in P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français du XVIII Siècle, 1989, p. 605, fig. C and p. 607.
