There are a pair of similar settees with turned legs in the Library at Erddig, Denbighshire, that were presumably supplied to Simon Yorke II (1771-1834) during the period when Thomas Hopper was working on the new dining-room. Gillows of Lancaster supplied the distinctive dining-chairs at that time but as these were a present to Simon Yorke's wife from her brother, there is unlikely to be a connection.
