These chairs have a distinctly French construction with pegged front legs, only slightly raked back legs and joined toprail. A similar set of chairs, with pegged construction and square framed patera, attributed to Franois Hervé, was sold in these Rooms from The Bute Collection, 3 July 1997, lot 21. A further set of related chairs supplied to Thomas Weld, Esq., for Lulworth Castle, Dorset, in 1775, was sold in these Rooms, 11 April 1991, lot 51.
