Related Literature: Christopher Gilbert, "English Vernacular Furniture 1750-1900"; Yale University Press, 1991; Page 125 shows a similarly constructed example from the collection of the Highland Folk Museum, described as typical to the North of Scotland and traditionally known as "the wife's chair". However, the present example is the only large-scale armchair we have been able to trace.
