An almost identical oval mirror was formerly in the distinguished collections of Gerald Hochschild, and Marjorie Wiggin Prescott. In addition a remarkable set of four pier glasses of the same design but with decorated bevelling was formerly in the collection of Mr J. S. Sykes which was assembled by the celebrated furniture historian, R. W. Symonds.
