Footnote
Note: The present lot's design has similarities to a number of chair designs by John Linnell. A set of six gilt armchairs made for the Duke of Argyll, Inverary Castle, although upholstered, are proportionately similar and with some of the same features shown here, including the waterleaf carving to the arm supports, and the fluted seat frame and leg.
