拍品专文

The chair's backs correspond exactly to a design published by Thomas Chippendale in the first edition of his Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, 1754, pl.XII. An armchair formerly in the collection of the furniture historian Percy Macquoid, apparently from the same set as the present chairs and retaining the same needlework seat, is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum (W.46 - 1925), and illustrated in P. Macquoid and R. Edwards, Dictionary of English Furniture, London, 1954, vol.I, p.278, fig.164.
