A PAIR OF GEORGE III MAHOGANY WHEEL BACK SIDE CHAIRS | Ronald Phillips | Fine Antique English Furniture

Hall chairs of identical design and probably from the same workshop were formerly at Coombe Warren, Kingston Hill, London. A slightly more elaborate version, but without doubt from the same workshop, was formerly in the possession of The Drapers Company in London. The Drapers’ set was by repute designed by Robert Adam.
