The playwright Edward Knoblock, one of the earliest actual collectors of Regency furniture, owned several wall-lights of this model. They are visible in the photographs of his Drawing Room at 11 Montague Place, London, which are illustrated in Frances Collard, Regency Furniture, Woodbridge, 1985, pp.265-266.
