This armchair can be confidently attributed to Thomas Chippendale based on the quality of the carving, design and the construction, specifically the distinctive cramp cuts to the seat frame. A closely related example is part of a suite of furniture supplied by Chippendale in 1771-2 to Saltram, Devon (C. Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, Bristol, 1978, p.110, fig. 188) of which part remains (NT871318). This chair was originally part of a larger set of which a pair sold anonymously at Christie’s London, 28 May 1964, lot 100.
