As part of the furnishing of the Dining Room at Mersham, Chippendale supplied `16 carv`d mahogany Chairs with Compass backs stuff`d & cover`d`; all sixteen chairs have since been dispersed, although, it is possible that the offered lot may have formed part of this commission. For an identical chair, almost certainly from the same set, see that sold Sotheby`s London, The Neil & Gina Smith Collection, 3 July 2019, lot 124.
