  • In the early 1760s a new style was being developed in British design, based on classical motifs from ancient Greece and Rome. This chair was probably made in the very first years of this new style. Although we do not know who made it, it is close in style to furniture that was produced for Spencer House, London, for Earl Spencer and it is possible that it was supplied by the upholsterer John Gordon, who is known to have worked for the house.
