Thomas Sheraton noted about a related library chair pattern that it was 'intended to make the exercise of reading easy' (T. Sheraton, The Cabinet Dictionary, London, 1803, pl. 5). The pattern was later adopted by the Strand cabinet-makers, Messrs. Morgan and Sanders (R. Ackermann, Repository of Arts, September 1810, pl. 19), by whom it was described as one of 'the most convenient and comfortable library chairs perhaps ever completed' (P. Agius, Ackermann's Regency Furniture & Interiors, London, 1984, p. 54).
