Their scrolled form and palmette-enriched arms derive from the type of antique chair in the French manner illustrated in Thomas Hope's, Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, 1807, pl. 95. It also relates to seat furniture designed in Berlin by the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel (d.1841) following his 1826 visit to England and France, (see M. Snodin, Karl Friedrich Schinkel, London 1991,
fig. 91).
