Specialist note
A closely-related chair design incorporating the three feather motif associated with the Prince of Wales featured in 1788 in the Estimate Sketch Book of Gillows of Lancaster and London, and was popularised in the same year in Messrs. A. Hepplewhite & Co.'s Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Guide, pl.8.
Gillows produced several variations of the design including mahogany chairs with carved wheat ears and painted versions with vase and roses in place of the feathers (see Susan E. Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London, 1730-1840, Woodbridge, 2008, vol. I, pp.160 - 163, pl. 112 - 119).
