The Regency library chair is intended to be upholstered in the French fashion with cushioned back and seat, and is robustly embellished with reeds and palm-flowered tablets in Gillows' Grecian fashion. Such chairs harmonised with their popular pattern of library-table, whose poetic lyre-scrolled trestles were strung with spindled pillars. One such table pattern features in their 1818 Estimate Sketch Book (see G. Wills, Craftsmen and Cabinet-Makers of Classic English Furniture, Edinburgh, 1974, p.117).
