Provenance
Provenance: Private Scottish collection, Paxton House.
Paxton House is situated on the banks of the River Tweed, near Berwick-upon-Tweed. Designed by John and James Adam in 1758, it is perhaps the finest example of an eighteenth-century Palladian country house in Britain and contains a pre-eminent collection of Chippendale furniture. In 1811, the Edinburgh architect Robert Reid added the largest purpose-built picture gallery in a Scottish country house.
