The chair frames compare to a set of fourteen supplied by Thomas Chippendale (Senior or Junior) for the White Drawing Room at Harewood House in circa 1779 (see C. Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, London, 1978, vol. II, p. 114, fig. 199). An interesting feature shared by both is the seatrail which runs to one-half the height of the flowered tablets that cap the legs.
