| Object history | Given by Brigadier W.E. Clark CMG DSO, through the Art Fund. No earlier history is recorded. At the time of donation, Peter Thornton suggested that they were Dutch rather than English. He also pointed out that the front rail had been given a more exaggerated profile by the addition of a piece of wood to the front. |
