When dating a piece on the basis of it’s stylistic features it is vital to take into account its likely regional idiosyncrasies. Certain archaic features persisted in some regional traditions much longer than in others (for example the notched ends on boarded furniture in the West Country and the Renaissance-style carving in the Lake District). To judge this settle from the North-West by the stylistic standards of London furniture would lead to a wildly inaccurate date – certainly a much earlier one than is likely to be the case.
If, however, this piece is considered within its appropriate regional context, where features such as panelled backs, slab arms and cabriole legs survived as fashionable for an exceptionally long period, then a more realistic date is suggested.
