Lot Essay

George Bullock's design for this fashionable chair is documented in the 1820, Wilkinson Tracings, p.5 and another version of it was illustrated in Rudolph Ackermann's The Repository of Arts in 1817, (P.Agius, Ackermann's Regency Furniture and Interiors, Marlborough, 1984, p.116, pl.95). Ackermann's text specified the chair as from the repository of Mr. G. Bullock and described it as 'intended for a Grecian library'; he particularly noted the excellence of the materials and of the workmanship involved.
