The rectilinear arm design of these chairs resembles the known work of John Linnell. The channelled arm approaches the top of the leg at right angles as on a suite supplied circa 1775-8 to Inverary Castle, illustrated in H. Hayward and P. Kirkham, William and John Linnell, London, 1980, vol. II, pl. 90. An identical leg appears on a chair frame illustrated in H. Cescinsky, English Furnture of the Eighteenth Century, vol. III, p. 208, fig. 243
