This French-fashioned armchair relates to the 'cabriole' chair form in Thomas Malton's, Complete Treatise on Perspective, 1775, pl. 33, fig.131. A pair of painted armchairs of identical design, though lacking some of this chair's painted decoration, was sold anonymously, Sotheby's, 25 September 1998, lot 95.
