Price-clipped mustard jacket is faded to pale freen on spine and margins of panels, one inch creased tear to front panel, VG otherwise. Story of five supposed Chippendale chairs sold by Sotheby's, London, 1974, for a then record $207,500, but subsequently withdrawn and shipped to Sotheby's Parke Bernet in New York when it was discovered that they were actually American in origin. They were then attributed to Philadelphia furniture maker Benjamin Randolph. The author, a Connecticut antiques dealer, gives evidence for them being the work of C. Hanlon.
