**This chair is based on the 'Curricle' chair as fist illustrated by Thomas Sheraton in The Cabinet Dictionary, London 1803. The style was then adapted by Gillows of London, who supplied similar caned chairs to Tatton Park, Cheshire, and later reinvented the design in various woods with alternative ornamentation.
