The fine travelling chest, with its drawers and multi-fitted compartments perhaps intended for bottles, is brass labelled with the name of Alexander Davison (d.1829) of Swarland House, Northumberland. It may have accompanied him on his travels to Quebec City in the later 1770s, and during the period that he served as an agent to the young Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson (d.1805)
