Designed in the early 19th Century 'antique' style, the Grecian palmette and rosette enrichment of the 'tablet' crest-rail derives from a chair by George Jacob (d.1814) that is illustrated by Charles Percier and P.F.L.Fontaine in their Receuil de Décorations Intérieures, 1801, pl.XV. The curved back and front leg are related to a suite of seat furniture of a refined French style that was supplied by Messrs. Morel and Hughes of Great Marlborough Street to the 3rd Duke of Northumberland in the early 1820's for Northumberland House, Strand. The chairs and their accompanying tabourets are now in the Anteroom at Syon House, Middlesex.
