According to family tradition the present pair of wall lights were acquired by either Robert John Carrington, 2^nd Lord Carrington (1796-1868) in Paris along with pieces with French Royal provenance or by his son Charles Robert Wynn-Carrington, 1^st Marquess of Lincolnshire (1843-1928) from the remaining collection at Stowe, Buckinghamshire in 1922. The 1^st Marquess acquired a number of things in the second auction of property from the former seat of the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos. However it has not been possible to identify the pair in that sale catalogue;

thence by descent in the family.

E. J. Brooks & Son, Valuers, Oxford, Laverton House, Broadway, Worcs, August, 1938, probably those [as a part of a set of four] on page 42 in the drawing room.
