專家說明


The chair pattern is based on Thomas Chippendale's designs for 'Ribband Back Chairs', published in his Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, 1762, No. XV, and a set of chairs at Nostell Priory, Yorkshire, supplied around 1755 by Chippendale also correspond closely to the design. A closely related set of six chairs, by Gillow and Co., were sold in these rooms from Linley Hall: From the Collection of the Late Sir Jasper and Lady More, 9 March 2016, lot 39 (£10,000 including premium).

The needlepoint was stitched by the grandmother of the present owner, in the 1950s.
