flying free:
I came across a written description in a publication dated Jan 24 1884 Truth.
It is someone's description of being in Osler and describing a glass chair / throne going out to Calcutta:
See page 138

Birmingham Museums have these drawings:

And lots of original drawings on Alamy here:

and then found this chair (not the same as the 1884 description I don't think) sold by Christie's:
