The Central European taste for stag horn furniture was fully shared by Prince Albert. Returning from his first visit with the Queen to Coburg, he purchased several pieces, including the chairs, in Frankfurt. The sofa probably came from the Prince’s brother Ernest. All the horn furniture was kept at Osborne.

Probably a gift from Ernest II, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, to Prince Albert in 1845
