Note: Thomas Hope, 1769-1831, was a British collector, designer and writer. Raised in the Netherlands, he came from a wealthy family of collectors and took the Grand Tour at an early age. He was greatly influenced by his travels and his upbringing. Hope helped to shape and influence the Regency period in England by his designs and interiors. The above offered chair is an amalgam of several styles including the overall klismos shape with a classical foliate scrolled back splat and Regency reeded legs.
