The chair-back pattern is taken from plate XII in Thomas Chippendale's The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, 1754. It was a very popular design in Ireland and can be seen on a set of twelve mahogany dining-chairs, circa 1760, previously at Malahide Castle, Co. Dublin (The Knight of Glin and J. Peill, Irish Furniture, New Haven and London, 2007, p. 110, fig. 143).
