The drawing room chair, with serpentined legs lapped by Roman acanthus and terminating in bacchic lion paws, is designed in the George II 'Roman' style popularised by architects such as William Kent (d. 1748).
With its four life-like lion legs, it relates to the Drawing Room seat furniture supplied in the early 1730s for the Kent decorated drawing room at Houghton Hall, Norfolk, and attributed to James Moore the Younger (d. c. 1734) (J. Cornforth, Early Georgian Interiors, London, 2004, figs. 209 and 210).
