The comfortably upholstered library-fireside bergère reflects the robust early 19th Century French/Grecian fashion, and has flowered paterae embellishing its Ionic-scrolled 'triclinium' arms, while 'Pan' reeds wrap its sunk-tablets and urn-capped columnar legs. It typifies the George IV fashion, driven by the Wyatt dynasty of architects through Messrs. Gillows of London and Lancaster, who supplied related 'Rutland' patterned 'Good Easy Chairs' for the library at Hackwood, Hampshire in 1813. See a pair sold at Christie's House sale, Hackwood, 20-22 April 1998, lot 55.
