專家說明

The distinctive trellis splat of these armchairs relates to a design by the London and Lancaster cabinet-makers Gillows for a set of ten chairs - the Garforth pattern - supplied in 1795 to Peter Garforth of Embsay Hall, Skipton (L. Boynton, Gillow Furniture Design, 1995, pl. 30); whilst the tablet toprail and fluted uprights relate to a Gillows design of 1797 (ibid, c.pl. 28). Such tablets would often serve as displays for either fine woods and inlays or decorative painted friezes (S. Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London: 1730-1840, vol. I, Woodbridge, 2008, pp. 192-3 and pl. 162).

The armchairs are also related to a design by Thomas Sheraton published in The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing Book, 1793, p. XXV.

Similar sets of chairs, also with padded toprails, trellis splats between fluted Corinthian columns and fluted uprights sold Sotheby's London, 16 July 1982, lot 144; 2 May 1997, lots 126 & 135; 18 November 1994, lot 149; and 7 April 1998, lot 135. More recently, a pair of the same model from Lyons Demesne sold Christie's, London, 14 July 2011, lot 59 (£15,000).
