The restrained design incorporating these extremely elegant fluted legs surmounted by roundels and terminating in large block feet is typical of the work of Thomas Chippendale in the early 1770's. This form of leg can be found on the set of four hall chairs supplied by Chippendale in 1773 to Edwin Lascelles for the Lower Hall, Harewood House, Yorkshire (see: C. Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, London, 1978, vol. 1, pp. 199, 208, vol. II, p. 96, fig. 156)
