During the 19th Century such elegant Louis XV style bureaux plats became increasingly popular furnishings for the centre of drawing-rooms. This bureau was amongst the French furniture introduced to Kedleston by George Nathaniel, Marquess Curzon of Kedleston (1859-1925). He brought it from Hackwood Park, Hampshire which he rented from 1905 until his death in 1925.
