Provenance

Almost certainly supplied by Ince & Mayhew to Sir Thomas Rumbold, Bt. for Woodhall Park, Hertfordshire, circa 1780, probably for the drawing room, along with two further armchairs, a further larger armchair, four stools and a music stool;
thence by descent;
until sold in 1794 with Woodhall Park to Paul Benfield (1741-1810).
Sold along with Woodhall Park in 1801 to Samuel Smith (1754-1834);
thence by descent until sold by order of the Executors of the late Col. Abel Henry Smith, Sotheby's London, 13 March 1931, lot 111.
Acquired by the current vendors from Partridge in the 1980s.
