A very similar chair is illustrated in Ackermanns Regency Furniture and Interiors, Pauline Agius, Marlborough, 1984, p.81, pl.63 where it is referred to as the Carlton House chair, "we presume from having been made for the august personage whose correct taste has so classically embellished that beautiful palace". He notes that they are available "from the ware-rooms of Messrs. Morgan and Sanders of Catherine-street, Strand".

With similarities to a chair from the Collection of Sir Roderick and Lady Jones illustrated in Regency Furniture 1795-1830, Margaret Jourdain, London, 1965, fig.75, p.49.

The set of chairs offered here are illustrated in situ in the German magazine Architectur & Wohnen, March 1983, p.20.
