The present chairs were possibly supplied to Aske in around 1763 when Sir Lawrence Dundas, 1st Baronet purchased the estate and sought, in partnership with his architect, John Carr, to transform Aske Hall into one of the great 18th-century houses of the North, a fitting monument and pendant to a man who was himself known as the Nabob of the North. The newly refurbished Aske was to furnish him with a suitable seat for a new dynasty and a controlling influence in the parliamentary borough of Richmond.The estate passed through direct descent to the present Marquess of Zetland who sold these chairs in 1999.
