Lot Essay

This Gothic Revival chair is modelled on a 16th century French chaire à haut dossier et à coffre. The carved central panel depicting Sir John Chandos presenting his banner to the Black Prince is derived from a 19th century engraving issued in Knight's The Penny Magazine, vol. XI, 13 August 1842, p. 313.
