Literature: Country Life.Ramsbury Manor, p468-477, 9th October 1920. This sofa is illustrated on page 468. Christopher Gilbert. The Life and Works of Thomas Chippendale. Studio Vista/ Christies 1978. By the 18th century the Burdett family held land and estates in Berkshire, Wiltshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire. The principal seats were in Derbyshire at Foremark Hall near Repton, and after about 1790, Ramsbury Manor in Wiltshire. Sir Robert Burdett, 4th Bart. (1716-1797) built the present hall at Foremark. Sir Robert commissioned Thomas Chippendale to produce furniture for the new house. The scale of the commission is revealed by the records kept that between February 1766 and April 1774 he paid Chippendale a sum of ú1228/16/6 (ú1014/14/0 of which was paid for the year 1769 alone). Although no certain attributions to Chippendale were made concerning the furniture in the sale of 1986, several of the pieces, including this sofa, present themselves as prime candidates of being produced as part of the Chippendale commission. The various elements of the design and carving of this sofa, with its serpentine mahogany frame carved with rococo motifs, bears particular similarities to a suite (including a pair of sofas) supplied by Chippendale to the Earl of Dumfries for Dumfries House in 1759 (See Gilbert. pages 195, 133 & 137) The design of this sofa and the Dumfries House example are derived from plate 22 (dated 1759) in the third edition of The Gentleman and Cabinet Makers Director. The design of Chippendale's 'French' chairs such as these, was ingeniously adapted to the taste and wealth of his clients by the subtle use of carved ornament , adapted to suite the decor of the room in which they were to be placed.
