Please note the additional provenance to this lot:
The Collection of Lord Hollenden [Geoffrey Hope Hope-Morley, 2nd Baron Hollenden], sold Sotheby's, London, 25 February 1966, lot 170.
A Collection of English Furniture, Barometers and Clocks [Arthur D. Leidesdorf], Sotheby & Co., London, 27 June 1974, lot 14 (£2,000 to Stair & Co.).
Lord Hollenden (1885-1977) was a keen collector of English furniture in the classic tradition of the inter-war years. Like many of the great collectors advised by the legendary R.W. Symonds, he concentrated on carved mahogany of the 1750s and 1760s, with an emphasis on crisply-carved detail and original patination. The surviving invoices covering the years from 1912, shortly before his first marriage in 1914, until the 1940s show that he patronised some of the best dealers of the day, such as Moss Harris.
