Little appears to be known about the Society, but it is thought to have been a group of the most fashionable furniture makers and designers in London. Robert Manwaring probably contributed most of the chair designs (the first 28 plates were reprinted in his Chair-Makers Guide in 1766). Other designs have been attributed to Thomas Johnson William Ince and John Mayhew Thomas Chippendale Matthias Lock and Matthias Darley.
