Footnote: After George IV had been gifted series of Chinese wallpaper panels, he ordered Robert Jones and Frederick Crace to design a Chinese Gallery in his seaside retreat Brighton Pavilion to display them. The gallery was decorated with Japanese and Chinese artifacts in addition to English and European works in the Chinoiserie style. This set forth the trend for fashionable eastern inspired decoration and furnishings in the 19th century.

Structurally sound. Scattered small losses throughout. The seats are in good condition.
