专家说明

This comfortable form of compass-fronted library-chair, with fitted book-rest (now lacking), relates to the celebrated seat associated with the poet John Gay (d.1732) and included in the 'author's chair' collection assembled by the architect George Godwin (d. 1888) (C. Graham, Ceremonial and Commemorative Chairs in Great Britain, Avon, 1994, p. 91, fig. 111).
