| Object history | Bought for £16.13.4 with 700-1895 from Emile Peyre. A third panel (listed as in the Edinburgh Museum on an early photograph) formed an extension to what may have been a freize (from left 699-700-Edinburgh). This panel was formerly in the collection of Emile Peyre (1824-1904), a notable Parisian collector of French medieval and renaissance artefacts. In 1895 the South Kensington Museum (renamed the V&A in 1900), bought over 300 pieces of furniture and woodwork from him, (as well as sculpture and metalwork), at a cost of £11,878. 16s. 9d. |
