The elegant 'French cabriolet' chairs, with hollowed Roman-medallion backs, have columnar legs that are antique-fluted and palm-wreathed in the manner of a pattern in Messrs. Gillow of London and Lancaster's 1786 Estimate Sketch Book (L. Boynton, Gillow Furniture Designs 1760-1800, Royston, 1996, fig. 267).
