Provenance
Artists from the architectural drawing school run by Augustus Charles Pugin were employed by Morel & Seddon, to create a pictorial record of the clocks, vases, candelabra and other items from royal residencies for consideration for use in the refurbishment at Windsor Castle. In March 1827 Pugin's son, the 15-year-old Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin, began to take part in this project; he was engaged to 'make drawings of furniture in Carlton Palace... previous to their removal to Windsor Castle'. By June of that year he had moved on and for £1 1s. per day he was engaged to 'design and make working drawings for the gothic furniture of Windsor Castle'.
