The French-fashioned cabriolet caned chair, with light antique-fluted frame embellished with sunflowered tablets, reflects the influence in the 1780s of Paris-trained chair-makers like François Herv (d.1796), who is likely to have executed the related chairs with Roman-medallioned backs at Heveningham House, Suffolk (see C. Hussey, Mid Georgian English Country Houses, London, 1956,p.170).

Closely related chairs with gilt-wood frames are at Badminton House, Gloucestershire (Christies Furniture Department archives).
