Summary
A study of an interior at Lyme with a side chair and tripod table; watercolour on paper. A room with red carpet on polished wood floor and a wall covered in tapestry and panelled at the base. A Chippendale chair with pierced back splat stands in front of the wall next to a tripod table with barley twist column and urn full of flowers on top. Mounted on piece of card.
Provenance
Lady Langford lived with Mrs Packer in her later years after they became friends when Mrs Packer managed a hotel for her. When Lady Langford died, she bequeathed some of her possessions to Mrs Packer. Mrs Packer gave the items to Lyme at various times but the information was not recorded properly at the time. Confirmed dates of arrival at Lyme are 1992, 1995 and 1999, but for some of the items, it is unclear which date they arrived.
