The chair's rounded cabriole legs with rounded pad feet and spindled stretchers reflects the fashionable style introduced in the 1720s, and remained popular throughout the first half of the 18th century, as can be seen on Windsor chairs, also with outscrolled arms and hollowed uprights at Ham House, Surrey, that are dated to the end of George II's reign (P. Thornton, 'Ham House', Furniture History, 1980, figs. 168 and 169). An easy-chair, with the same pattern of stretcher-tied leg, was exhibited by Phillips of Hitchin at the 1947 Antique Dealer's Fair and Exhibition.
