The image of Wentworth House is based upon a print in Thomas Allen's History of the County of York (1831), also used as the source for a fine painted tray illustrated by Alwyn and Angela Cox, Rockingham (2001), col pl.120, p.302. The subject, wide gilt band and black outlining suggest a Rockingham origin. A breakfast service of the same pattern as the plate was supplied to Wentworth House in 1829. The candlestick, although porcelain, is similar in style and construction to Dale's Patent Furniture, made in earthenware by the Bramelds and discussed op cit (2001), p.128.
