The chairs incorporate elements from contemporary published designs such a those of Robert Manwaring (P. Ward-Jackson, English Furniture Designs of the Eighteenth Century, 1958, figs. 172 & 173), but none include such authentically Chinese (rather than chinoiserie) feature as the curved railed arms of this pair.
