Footnotes

  • It is exceptionally rare for a 17th century chair to be constructed with a recessed panel set within a heavy frame, as opposed to a conventional panel framed simply within the line of the back rails. A further example in the Burrell Collection (14.215), Glasgow, has an inlaid panel recessed within a gadroon carved frame, illustrated, Tobias Jellinek, Early British Chairs and Seats 1500 to 1700, (2009), p. 99, plate 99, dated to circa 1630.
