Marske Hall, Richmond, Yorkshire is a five bay, mid-18th Century house, whose front is centred by a large Venetian window above an open pediment (N. Pevsner, The Buildings of England: Yorkshire, The North Riding, London, 1966, p.238). It is possible that these chairs were supplied to James Hutton, Esq. (d. 1798) for his new house, probably built when he succeeded his father in 1768.
