The wall-paper from which this screen is composed is almost certainly a fragment of that which covered the dining-room at Wentworth Woodhouse and which is visible in detail opposite lot 77 in this sale.
One of the features that appears to be characteristic of the Wentworth Cabinet-Maker, here identified as Wright and Elwick, is the exaggerated pieced flying scroll, here used on the cresting. It appears as angle-brackets on lot 63 and others of its type still in the Fitzwilliam family collection, and on others of the same group as lot 69. A cheval mirror with a very similar cresting was at Raby Castle, Co. Durham, a house where Wright and Elwick are not known to have worked but which is within their orbit. It was sold by Lord Barnard in Christie's house sale, 10-11 November 1994, lot 82.
