Provenance
Tatton Park, Cheshire, purchased from Anthemion, The Antique Shop, Cartmel, Grange-Over-Sands, Cumbria.
Then to Burrow Hall, Burrow-with-Burrow, Lancashire.

The Gillows furniture at Tatton Park is discussed in N.Goodison & J.Hardy, Gillows at Tatton Park, Furniture History, 1970, p.1-39. Over two hundred pieces of furniture were made by the firm for the house, most of the furniture is still in-situ.

Burrow Hall was built by Westby-Gill circa 1740 for Robert Fenwick, MP for Lancaster. On his death the estate was inherited by his nephew and further successive generations of relations who all changed their surname to Fenwick.
