The distinctive hourglass-shaped splat with scroll-end crest and scrolling armrests is an archetypal Russian characteristic, prevalent in chair design during the first quarter of the 19th century. Numerous comparable examples survive, including an armchair in Pavlovsk Palace, illustrated in A. Chenevière, Russian Furniture: the Golden Age, 1780-1840 (London 2001), p.199 fig.207.
