John Starling Chapple (1840–1922) was an English architect and stonemason best known as the close assistant, office manager, and executor for the Gothic Revival architect William Burges. After Burges died in 1881, Chapple completed several of his unfinished masterworks and designed custom furniture in Burges's distinct style.
This particular chair's painted image is very similar to the painted design on Burges' Merman and Mermaid chairs.
