Related pieces: Thomas Chippendale is known to have regularly supplied related mahogany polescreen with a combination of needlework or tapestry and Chinese wallpaper to many of his clients; including those supplied to Blair Castle, Dumfries House, Newby Hall and Harewood. The treatment of the knees and feet of the tri-partite base of the present screen relates very closely to a pair of candlestands supplied by Chippendale to Paxton House.
