Chairs of this design were made by East Anglian chairmakers following a pattern popularised by Thomas Sheraton for the back and using scroll arms of the type which became fashionable in the Regency period. Often the scroll arm was supported by a separate 'stump' attached to the side of the seat or on turned supports which were a continuation of the front legs. In this particular chair the scroll of the arm is, unusually, not positioned on top of the arm turning but extends beyong it. Elm was more commonly used, as opposed to ash in this example. Related armchairs are illustrated in Dr B Cotton, The English Regional Chair, Woodbridge, p.223, fig.EA26, p.230, fig EA50, p.231, fig EA55 and p.233, fig EA66.
