The Museum acquired the ceiling, together with the paneled walls and other architectural elements, as part of a complete paneled room said to have been removed from a rectory near Tarporley, in Somerset. Subsequent research has shown that the room is instead an assemblage of mostly Tudor-period elements, brought together by the London antique firm of Gill & Reigate. The linenfold carving clearly reveals a number of different sources for the paneling, though is mostly of the Tudor period, 1485-1603.”
ProvenanceBy 1920, assembled by Gill and Reigate, London; 1923, sold by Gill and Reigate to the MFA. (Accession Date: December 6, 1923)
