A QUEEN ANNE WALNUT DISPLAY-CABINET

Glemham Hall, Suffolk was the home of Dudley North (d.1764), who formed a collection of magnificent 17th century furniture and which was illustrated in H. Avray Tipping, English Homes: Period IV - Vol I, London, 1920, pp. 405-416. The house remained in the family until 1829 when it passed to the North Earls of Guilford. Charlotte Maria, Lady North and mother of the 7th Earl of Guilford resided at Glemham from around 1860, with her son by her second marriage, R.Eden Dickson, Esq. When Glemham was sold in 1923 much of the furniture was moved to Waldershare Park, Kent; some items, including walnut and lacquered furniture, were subsequently sold by The Earl of Guilford at Christie's, London, 2 August 1945, lots 100-114.
