The stand was almost certainly supplied by Morel and Hughes to Hugh, 3rd Duke of Northumberland, around 1823, for the display of a striking Japanese Momoyama domed coffer at Northumberland House, London. Its form closely resembles other pieces of documented furniture in the collection of the Dukes of Northumberland at both Syon House, Middlesex, and Alnwick Castle, Northumberland, where original furnishings were transferred after the demolition of Northumberland House in 1874. The original account for the refurnishing of Northumberland House was submitted by Morel and Hughes to the Duke of Northumberland on 31 March 1823.
The coffer was sold anonymously Christie's, 14 & 15 June 1993, lot 429.
