Specialist note

Chairs of very similar design were supplied by Marsh and Tatham for the salon at Brighton Pavilion in 1823. These chairs were subsequently moved to Buckingham Palace, where they were photographed by Country Life magazine in the 1920s (Harold Clifford Smith, Buckingham Palace: It's Furniture, Decoration and History, 1931, p. 230). A.E. Bell was possibly an unrecorded journeyman for Marsh and Tatham.
