A GEORGE III GILTWOOD SETTEE

This settee originally formed part of a larger suite of furniture, including three settees and four armchairs owned by Partridge in 1995. A virtually identical suite remains in the Drawing Room at Brodsworth Hall, Yorkshire, now the property of the English Heritage. A related suite of shield-form armchairs settees (together with a pair of candle stands) was supplied by Wyatt for the Drawing Room of Broome Park, Kent, in circa 1778 when the interiors were re-modelled for Sir Henry Oxenden, Bart. This suite appears in a photograph of the Drawing Room in a Country Life article of 6 July 1907, p.20.
