Note: A similar set of chairs with carved gothic arches and quatrefoil decoration were sold at Christie's, NY, The Collection of Peggy and David Rockefeller, May 8, 2018, Lot 128. This is the lot essay which accompanied the lot: 'These chairs were likely inspired by the designs of Thomas Chippendale, the most influential cabinet-maker of the 18th century. The third edition of Chippendale's pattern book for furniture design, The Gentleman & Cabinet-Maker's Director , 1762, includes illustrations for chair backs with related pierced gothic arches (plate XVII0, and similar blind fret-carved legs (plate XXVII).
Additional patterns for chairs uniting classical and gothic elements were published by Robert Manwaring in The Cabinet and Chair-maker's Real Friend and Companion, 1765 and The Chair-Maker's Guide, 1766 as well as in his contribution to A Society of Upholsterers, Genteel Household Furniture in the Present Taste, circa 1765 (E. White, Pictorial Dictionary of British 18th Century Furniture Design, Woodbridge, 1990 pp. 69, 72-74 and 77-81). Other features, such as the use of bold nailing patterns, are featured in Thomas Malton's Compleat Treatise on Perspective, 1775 (e. White, op cit. , p. 85). A set of six dining chairs with similar pierced backs, probably from the collection of the Meade Walso family of Hever Castle, Kent, sold Christie's, New York, February 7-8, 2017, lot 10.
