| Place of origin |
These panels are part of a collection of hundreds of woodcarvings given to the Museum in 1921 by Sir Charles Allom, who headed the London decorating firm of White Allom & Co. The firm was very active in Britain and also in North America. The collection was made to serve for the education of designers and carvers in a firm that specialized in re-creating period interiors. It had probably been designed in part as a teaching tool for Cedric Allom, Charles's son, but he was killed in the First World War.
