This sturdy pattern of French 'cabriolet' chair with flowered tablets, bold acanthus-scrolled enrichments and Doric-columned legs reflects the George IV style promoted by P. and M.A. Nicholson's The Practical Cabinet-Maker of 1826. The design relates in particular to one of their chair patterns illustrated in F. Collard, Regency Furniture, Woodbridge, 1985, p. 123.
