H: 37, W: 18, D: 18 in. provenance: Purchased in London in the 1970s. note: These chairs, similar in form to the House of Lords X-frame chair designed by Pugin, are more closely related in design to a set of chairs in the fanvaulted cloister at Speaker’s House, Palace of Westminster illustrated in James Stourton, ‘Great Houses of London’, 2012, p.192. The seat and back arrangement, and the absence of carving on the side of the uprights bear close similarity; as well as the lion’s mask terminals on the back uprights, and the leg arrangement found on other chairs by Pugin such as the House of Lord’s chair. Another similar chair, but with open back and drop-in seat, and carving on the side of the rails is illustrated in “A.W. N.
