The elegant chairs are designed in the early 19th century French/antique fashion, with Grecian ribbon-fretted tablets and Grecian scrolled and reed-enriched legs. Their form relates to that of parlour chair patterns in George Smith's Collection of Designs for Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, 1808 (pls. 39 and 40).
