The cane-seated and squab-cushioned parlour chairs are designed in the early nineteenth-century Grecian manner with tablet crest and Etruscan-scrolled legs, while their japanning with floral ornament and scalloped vignettes of figures in Oriental pleasure-gardens, reflects the contemporary fashion for Chinese wall-papers and such exotic decorations as that introduced to George, Prince Regent's Marine Pavilion, Brighton, by Frederick Crace (d. 1859).
A cabinet with related decoration attributed to Crace is illustrated in M. Aldrich, The Craces: Royal Decorators, Brighton, 1990, p. 23, no. 1:12).
A very closely related set of six chairs, originally from Nether Lypiatt Manor, Gloucestershire, with crimson-japanning and turned lower splats, was sold from the collection of the Earl and Countess of Perth, in these Rooms, 18 April 1996, lot 52 (£28,750).
