A set of hall chairs with the Blunt family crest and motto painted onto the backs are recorded. They relate very closely in design to the hall chairs supplied by Thomas Chippendale to the Lascelles family at Harewood House, and a Chippendale attribution is a firm possibility. Stylistically the Blunt hall chairs compare closely to the overall design and feel of this superb table, and they are clearly part of the same original apparently undocumented commission.
