This is one of a large set of chairs that were made for Houghton Hall in Norfolk. Houghton was built between 1722 and 1735 for Sir Robert Walpole, England's first prime minister. This suite furnished the second state apartment, which was initially planned as a large bedroom and smaller dressing room; but before the apartment was finished the dressing room became the bedroom, and the bedroom was turned into a cabinet of paintings. The bedroom houses a bed with colourful embroidered hangings, which appears to have been made around 1715-20 for an earlier house at Houghton. The green velvet chairs were probably made in the late 1720s, in a slightly old-fashioned style to suit the bed. The use of burr-walnut veneer (cut from the root parts of the tree), with carved and gilt gesso ornament, is a mark of the very highest-quality chair-making of the period. On loan to Houghton Hall. Chair of burr-walnut veneer and carved and gilt gesso, with cabriole front legs and heavily raked back legs, on square hoof-feet; a square domed seat and a rectangular back with rounded corners, on beech frames; with original loose covers of green silk velvet, and the original upholstery throughout. The seat is upholstered with an internal frame, to which the foundation (webbing and base cloth) is nailed; this is supported in rebates in the main chair-frame. The stuffing-covers are fixed to the main frame, so creating the impression of normal fixed upholstery. The upholstery of the seat is formed with a lip (or 'roll') at the front, which is revealed by the lateral line of stitching in the foundation, a few inches behind the front edge. Chair, walnut and parcel-gilt, with green velvet cover trimmed with silk braid, attributed to Thomas Roberts junior, London, c. 1725-30
