This particularly stylish chair has appealing exaggerations in many of its features, including a wide sculptured seat profile in the manner of a baker's 'peel' or shovel and a rear bi-lobed extension to hold two brace spindles. The top rail is typical of those made in the Thames Valley and London traditions in the 18th Century, although in this case its width results in an exaggerated splay outwards of four of the six back spindles. The legs, which have been shortened, have the turnery devices found on the earliest Windsors in this tradition.
