Lot Essay

These hall stools, with Grecian Ionic scrolled seat, are designed in the George III 'antique' fashion as popularised by a chair pattern in T. Sheraton's Cabinet Dictionary, 1803, pl. 51. Thomas Chippendale had earlier supplied a mahogany stool of this basic form to Christ Church Library, Oxford in 1764 (illustrated in A. Coleridge, Chippendale Furniture, London, 1968, pl. 338).
