Date:1792

Description:This overdoor panel was found in the Drawing Room at Soho House, the former home of industrialist Matthew Boulton. Prior to opening the house as a museum extensive survey work was undertaken to provide evidence to create period style rooms as they had been in Boulton's day.

When this paper was removed from the wall a duty stamp and date of 1792 were found on the reverse. This paper was therefore reproduced.
