As Margaret Jourdain notes in her Apollo article, many of the furnishings at Wykeham Abbey were inherited and transferred from Dingley Hall, Northamptonshire. However, Lord Downe was also himself a collector and given the chair's purported provenance of the Duchess of Marlborough, this was likely one of his purchases.
