By repute acquired directly from the manufacturers in a private sale of archive material in the early 1980s.
c.f. Christine Woods, Sanderson 1860-1985, London, 1985, catalogue number 48 for comparison.
Sanderson launched this frieze on their stand at the Manchester Convention & Exhibition of Decorative Art Manufacturers, St. James' Hall, Manchester, 20-26 September 1904.
The Victoria and Albert Museum, London, hold another of this set in their collection (accession numbers E.2316-9.1983).
Sanderson's United States agent was the W.H.S. Lloyd Co. from circa 1903. There is an invoice recorded from Lloyd's to the legendary interior decorators, the Herter Brothers (active 1864–1906) in December 1904 for four sets of the above panels. These were ordered at a cost of 35 dollars for the billiard room of Mrs McCann. This is presumably Helena McCann (1878-1938), the Woolworth heiress, for whom the Herters did much work for. It illustrates well the influential decorators and wealthy clientele acquiring work from Sanderson.
