Footnote
Note: Geoffrey Campbell Bushby (1878-1974) was a Liverpool cotton merchant and married Dorothy Minoprio (1884-1973) in 1907. In 1931, the Sibbersfield estate was purchased by Dorothy, known as Dora, for herself and her husband. This wardrobe, made by Peter Waals at around this time, is thought to have been designed by Dora's nephew, Anthony Minoprio.
