The source for this shape can be found in the chair illustrated on the right side of the plate French Chairs (Plate XX) in the 1755 edition of Chippendale's Director. , 68 Also, Ince and Mayhew's Universal System of Household Furniture, published between 175...9 and 1762, il- lustrates a similar feature in Plate LX, which is entitled Bur/airs. 69 Figure 1 7. Reverse view of the crest rail of the Royal Governor's chair, showing mortises which received the applied cresting.
