This model of parlour or drawing-room chair, with golden tasseled epaulette corners, has an upholstered klismos-tablet corresponding to a chair in Rudolph Ackerman's Repository of the Arts, 1810 (pl. 12) that was described as being 'very handsome and truly comfortable... with a French cushion, and stuffed back'. The cornucopiae-scrolled legs featured on drawing-room chair patterns issued by Ackerman in 1814 (pl. 66) and probably derived from Morgan and Sanders, cabinet-makers and upholsterers of Catherine Street, Strand, whose work received praise at this time.

The stamps are likely to be those of two journeymen, rather than the chairmaker himself, which would account for the different stamps.
