The library chair's Roman-medallioned back, rayed from a poetic 'Apollo' sunflower patera, corresponds to a pattern adopted in 1774 by the St. Martin's Lane firm of Thomas Chippendale (d. 1779) for japanned bedroom apartment chairs supplied for Paxton House, Scotland. However the latter features diagonal 'sun-rays' alternating with the present form of fret-looped rays (C. Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, 1978, p. 100 fig. 164). Another armchair, likely to have come from the same suite as the present one, was sold by Mrs Derek Fitzgerald, in these Rooms, 5 July 1963, lot 126. Another pair was exhibited by Partridge in their Summer Exhibition, 1984.
