It is interesting to note that the two baroque style console tables and the mid 19th century centre table, illustrated in the same archival photograph, appear to have very similar ornate carvings to the present chairs indicating that the chairs and centre table were either made to match the two consoles tables or the whole suite of furniture was commissioned in the mid 19th century to furnish the grand interior.
