拍品专文

These chairs are based on a design published by John Loudon for 'easy reclining chairs for a library, parlour, or other sitting-room'. Loudon illustrated two chair designs, which he described as 'covered with morocco leather, with button tufts', in his Encyclopedia of Cottage, Farm, and Villa Architecture and Furniture, London, 1839, p. 1057, fig. 1911.
