Footnotes
Plate stands of this pattern formed part of the dining room furnishings supplied to David Murray, 3rd Earl of Mansfield (1777-1840) by Gillows for Kenwood, London in 1801-2. The stands are recorded in the 1831 inventory of Kenwood (see J.Bryant, Kenwood, 1990). Other stands of this basic pattern include one sold Christie's, London, 50 Years of Collecting, The Arts of Georgian England, 14 May 2003, lot 142 (possibly one of the examples originally at Kenwood) where the stand is of almost identical form to the example offered here with the exception of straight mouldings to the undertier. Further examples include one sold Christie's, New York, 20 April 2010, lot 417 and a plainer example illustrated in R.Edwards and P.Macquoid, The Dictionary of English Furniture, London, rev. ed., 1954, 3 vols., Vol.III, p.163, fig.1.
