A highly refined pair of gilt-wood settees with serpentine shaped backs finely carved with a running guilloche pattern and an anthemion crest.

English, Circa 1775

ATTRIBUTION
Chippendale supplied a pair of settees of similar outline and configuration for William Weddell's Tapestry Room at Newby Hall, Yorkshire, circa 1775. They also feature related swag-decorated tablets centering the front seat rails.

Another stylistic comparison can be made with a celebrated group of seat furniture supplied by the same maker under the direction of Robert Adam for Sir Lawrence Dundas's London house, No. 19 Arlington Street, London, in the 1760s. This comprises two suites which share closely related anthemion crestings. The anthemion crest motif is also repeated on another of Chippendale's commissions including sofas and armchairs for John Parker, 1st Lord Boringdon, circa 1772 at Saltram House, Devon

Related ornament later featured in the pattern-book, entitled Sketches of Antique Ornament (1779) that advertised Chippendale the Younger's succession to his father's St. Martin's Lane workshops.

Apart from stylistic similarities, this pair of gilt-wood settees also have V-shaped glue-cramp notches to the under-frames which are often cited as a particular trait of Chippendale's.
