Note: A similar George III Marquetry Sideboard sold Christie's, NY, October 26, 2006, Lot 57 for $21,600, with the same provenance. Brackenhurst Hall was built in 1828 by Reverend Thomas Coats Cane (d. 1887). His grandson, Edmund Henry Allenby, Field Marshal Lord Allenby of the Palestine Campaign in the 1914-1918 War, was born there in 1861. In 1899, the estate was purchased by William Norton Hicking who continued to make improvements to the house and grounds, eventually owning 250 acres. He was created Baronet in 1918. Hicking became nationally known as a breeder of dairy cattle ('Brackenhurst Jean' was reputed to be the finest type of dairy shorthorn ever bred). The estate was sold to Nottinghamshire County Council upon his death in 1947 whereupon Lady Hicking moved to Cranfield House. Brackenhurst Hall is now the School of Land-Based Studies at Nottingham Trent University.

Estate of Don F. Gaston, Greenwich, Connecticut
