This ribboned-back parlour chair relates to patterns published by Robert Manwaring in his Cabinet and Chair-Maker's Real Friend and Companion, 1765, pl. 9, and in his contribution to A Society of Upholsterer's Genteel Household Furniture in the Present Taste of circa 1765. The splat from the Chair-Maker's Real Friend proved especially popular and features on related chairs illustrated in J. Kirk, American Furniture and the British Tradition, New York, 1982, figs. 849-851
