The fretted rail back corresponds to the pattern entitled 'Chinese Double brac'd Paleig' in W. Halfpenny's Twenty New Designs of Chinese Lattice, 1750 (pl. 2). The same pattern was adopted for a set of chairs commissioned by Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 4^th Earl of Shaftesbury, for St. Giles's House, Dorset and sold by the 10^th Earl of Shaftesbury, in these Rooms, 26 June 1980, lot 39.
