Lot Essay

The hall seat pattern evolved from designs of an antique Roman marble seat, with fluted legs and drapery-covered seat, that was drawn by the architect Charles Heathcote Tatham (d. 1842) and published following his return from Rome in Etchings [...] of Ancient Ornamental Architecture, 1799 (pl. 46).
This simplified though unusually large hall seat bears the stamp of James Winter, furniture broker, appraiser and undertaker whose business was founded in 1823 (G.Beard and C.Gilbert, ed., Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840, 1986, pp.992-3).
