The distinct features of this chair, including the oversized stylised anthemion, are in the manner of Henry Thomas Peters (1792-1852). The English cabinet maker moved to Genoa in 1817 where he established workshops in the former convent of Santa Brigida. He received commissions from the House of Savoy, first at the Royal Palace of Genoa and then from 1833 at the Royal Castle of Racconigi. He obtained the title of "Her Majesty's Cabinetmaker" in 1835 and received a silver medal at the 1846 Genoa Great Exhibition of National Manufactures and Products.
