Related chairs of this French 'Easy Chair' form were supplied in the mid-1760s to Corsham Court, Wiltshire, (G. Beard, Upholsterers and Interior Furnishing in England, London, 1997, figs. 306-8). This pattern of voluted-arm also features on similar chairs, but lacking the Gothic-fretted stretchers, at Southill, Bedfordshire (R. Edwards and P. Maquoid, The Dictionary of English Furniture, London, revised edition, 1954, Vol. I, p. 277). The same reeded-leg pattern, enriched with a bubbled ribbon-guilloche, features on chairs at Swinton, Yorkshire (sold by the Earl of Swinton and the Hon. Nicholas Cunliffe-Lister, Swinton House, Yorkshire, Christie's House Sale, 20-21 October 1975, lot 17). A pair of similar chairs, without stretchers, was sold Sotheby's, New York, 21-22 October 1999, lot 418).
