The unusual squared foliate arm terminal on this chair is directly related to those supplied by Thomas Chippendale (1718-1779) to William, 5th Earl of Dumfries (c. 1699-1768), for Dumfries House, Ayrshire in 1759. The Dumfries suite supplied by Chippendale included two settees, fourteen armchairs and two card tables.
