A pair, possibly these chairs, was sold Christie's London, Highly Important English Furniture, 28 June 1984, lot 65. A pair was advertised by Norman Adams in Connoisseur in November 1964. A single example is illustrated in L. Synge, Chairs in Colour, pl. 44 - It is of course possible that these are all the same chairs.
