Provenance
From Penicuik House, Midlothian, Scotland.
Penicuik House was the finest and most influential example of Palladian architecture in Scotland. The 18th-century Palladian mansion was built by Sir James Clerk, 3rd Baronet, in 1765. It sits at the centre of an important designed landscape, which together form an exceptional physical record of the artistic patronage of the Clerk Family.
It was devastated by fire in 1899. During the fire, a great deal of effort was channelled into salvaging the furnishings, which were latterly moved into the nearby converted stables.
