Pair of armchairs
Not on view
Part of a set of seat furniture previously at Lavington Park, Sussex, the chair is related to a design for a so-called "French chair" in the third edition of Thomas Chippendale's The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director (1762). Chippendale suggested to create an open space between the cartouche-shaped back and the seat in order to lighten the overall effect of this drawing-room chair.
