Lady Cynthia Poston (1918 – 2017) was the daughter of Walter Keppel, Viscount Bury, later the 9th Earl of Albemarle, and Lady Judith Sydney Myee Wynn-Carington, daughter of Charles Wynn-Carington, 1st Marquess of Lincolnshire. Quidenham Hall was purchased by the Keppel family in 1800 – and it is quite likely that our chaise longue, tying in neatly in date, may have been commissioned for the house around this time as a fashionable piece of furniture for the newly acquired home.
