Lots 588 and 589 were among a group of similar armchairs and side chairs, supplied to Hackwood Park in the early 1760s. See Hackwood Park, Christie's house sale; 20-22 April 1998, lot 114.15, 16, 113, 115, 297-299. The side chairs were distributed in groups of four around the principal bedrooms and each group was accompanied by an 'elbow ditto', such as the present examples. The slight differences in the size and construction of the present chairs and the others sold in the Hackwood sale are thus explained by their being intended to be used only in small groups in each bedroom.
