The settee has its fretted vase splats wrapped by leaves and festooned with acanthus flowers in the manner of a suite of furniture supplied around 1750 to Holkham Hall, Norfolk; while its acanthus-wrapped legs terminate in Roman eagle claws (R. Edwards, The Dictionary of English Furniture from the Middle Ages to the late Georgian period, rev. ed., 1954, vol. I, p. 275, figs. 155 and 153).
