Although Mayhew and Ince supplied 'Six French back Chairs with matted seats Japan'd white & Ornamented in Gold, with cushions border'd & quilted in Linen 9.0.0' to the Duchess of Bedford for the Frontv Drawing Room in December 1789, these chairs display all the characteristics of François Hervé's oeuvre.
