Sellers comment: Superb chairs with the classic Egyptian influenced decorative carved motifs. The Egyptian influence came about as a result of the education of privileged young gentleman doing the 'Grand Tour' of the antique world of Italy, Greece , Crete and Egypt so as to round of their education and these are the people who brought these design influences back to England.
