1760 British Armchair at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London - From the curators' comments: "This armchair is in the gothic style that became fashionable in the middle of the 18th century. Together with a companion chair, it was originally part of a larger set, which was probably made for a drawing room. The needlework cover is original, but it appears to have been made about thirty years earlier than the chair."
