Catalogue Note
The design of these chairs relates closely to a set of oak chairs at Windsor Castle which were probably supplied by architect James Wyatt (d. 1813) as part of his Gothic revival decorative scheme for George III circa 1805 (see Francis Collard, Regency Furniture, Woodbridge, 1985, p. 165).
