Five chairs of this model were supplied by Gillows between 1811 and 1812 to Wilbraham Egerton for Tatton Park, Cheshire, intended for bedrooms or dressing-rooms (n. Goodison and J. Hardy, 'Gillows at Tatton Park', Furniture History Society Journal 1970, pl. 16A and S. Bourne Gillow Chairs and Fashion, Exhibition Catalogue, Blackburn, 1991, p.32-33).
