Probably the sofa recorded by Sir David Hunter Blair on 8th December 1824 for the family bedroom at Blairquhan 'a Sopha with 1/2 back about £8.10.0' (Blairquhan Archive).

The handsome Grecian-sofa, with its Grecian-black japanning, relates to a 'Chaise Longue' pattern in George Smith's, Collection of Designs for Household Furniture, 1808 (pl.64). While its elegantly scrolled and tapered head-board corresponds to a pattern introduced around 1810 by the London cabinet-maker George Bullock (d.1818) and popularised by his sofa pattern published by R. Brown in Rudiments of Drawing Cabinet and Upholstery Furniture, 1822 (2nd ed., pl. 12).
