The oak leaf-carved knee is an uncommon feature which also appears on a suite from the Irwin Untermyer collection, illustrated in Y.Hackenbroch, ed., English Furniture with some furniture of other countries in the Irwin Untermyer Collection, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1953, pl.97, fig.124. Another armchair featuring this carving and with similar elegant outscroll arms is illustrated in F.L. Hinckley, The More Significant Georgian Furniture, New York, 1990, fig.16. A drapery-capped chair with similar well-articulated scroll arms was sold Sotheby's, London, 26 November 2003, lot 38 and appears to be from a larger set.
