The paper label to each of these small sofas relates to The Kent Gallery Ltd. which was established circa 1920 by founder Lionel Harris (1862-1943) whose early career was split between Madrid and London. He went on to establish various premises in London including The Spanish Art Gallery Ltd. at 50 Conduit Street, and the Kent Gallery Ltd. at number 44. The firm dealt in important Spanish art together with significant 15th and 16th century religious sculptures, fine carpets and textiles and important furniture. They had various high profile clients including members of the Spanish royal family and the Victoria & Albert Museum.
