The parlour chairs, with their scalloped and Gothic-fretted splats, correspond to a pattern discussed by J Kirk in American Furniture and the British Tradition to 1830, New York, 1982, fig. 932. Another four chairs of this pattern, but with different legs, were in the possession of Elson of London in 1934 (P. Brown, The Noel Terry Collection: Fairfax House, York, 1987, no.56)
