This banqueting chair bears the Burnell crest of violets in a lion's paw (On a Wreath of the Colours (Or and Sable) A Lion's Garb erect and erased Sable in the Paw a Bunch of Violets proper). It forms part of a set of chairs of which the exact model is in the Metropolitan Museum, New York (67.63.1) as is an accompanying side chair (67.63.2). The side chair from the Metropolitan Museum is inscribed 'C. Dixwell 1820', who may have been the 'Dixwell' cabinet-maker and subscriber in 1793 to Thomas Sheraton's Drawing Book. The present chair and the armchair in the Metropolitan Museum correspond to another acquired by the Victoria & Albert Museum in 1967 and illustrated in E. T. Joy, English Furniture 1800-1851, p. 58. This was commissioned by Peter Pegge (d. 1836) after he had assumed the name and arms of Burnell. He served in 1788 as High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire. The present chair, and the remainder of the set probably formed part of his refurbishment of Winkburn Hall, Nottinghamshire. Furthermore, the same Bacchic lion-pawed trusses feature on a Regency mahogany sideboard, also inscribed '1820' and 'Charles Dixwell', sold ‘Christopher Howe: The first twenty years’, Christie’s, South Kensington, 24 March 2004, lot 130.
