The Grecian klismos library-chair, with 'Apollo' palm-flowered tablet and sunflowered libation paterae, reflects the robust Parisian style of 'Chaise à l'antique' promoted by T. Hope's Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, 1807 and executed by George Oakley (d. 1841) at his Bond Street 'Manufactory and Magazine for Fashionable Furniture'. Oakley supplied related chairs for Papworth Hall, Cambridgshire in 1810 and for Longleat, Wiltshire in 1812 (see A. E. Reveirs-Hopkis, Sheraton Period Furniture, Old Furniture, 1928, vol. 3, pp. 224-225 and a pair of chairs sold from Longleat, Christie's, London, 13 June 2002, lot 361).
