It is tempting to speculate that one or more of these chairs may have been supplied by Thomas Chippendale but a large account from him survives at Aske and Christopher Gilbert has written that 'it is likely that the single surviving account presents a complete record of work commissioned by Sir Lawrence Dundas'. Chippendale did in fact supply chairs of a very closely related pattern to Sir Rowland Winn in 1766 for his house in St. James's Square. They are now at Nostell Priory and are thought to be a set described as 'Mahogany parlour chairs coverd with horse hair and double brass nails at 25/- each'. There is nothing of comparable description in the Aske account.
