拍品資料及來源
此品最近一次公開展覽是1929年在倫敦貝爾格雷夫廣場斯福大宅(Seaford House)舉行的「夏洛蒂王后珍藏借展」(Queen Charlotte’s Loan Exhibition)。此對托盤來源有序,原主人是來自登比郡(Denbigshire)的貝克萊之約翰·卓佛爵士(Sir John Trevor of Brynkinalt,1637?-1717年),身後一直由家族收藏。
早年的卓佛是一位年少有成、聲名卓著的律師,更因此在1671年獲授騎士榮譽。除了法律專業外,約翰爵士憑著對政治的興趣,在1673年加入下議院,在1681及1685年成為登比郡(Denbigshire)代表。1685年5月,卓佛被選為下議院議長,由於他患有嚴重斜視,議員們不清楚到底議長是否在注意他們說話,令時人對他留下深刻的印象。1688年他獲任樞密院成員,但任期很短,隨著同年詹姆斯二世被迫退位後結束。瑪麗二世及威廉三世繼位後,儘管卓佛不再獲君主垂青,但他對法律事務的專長令他依然是一位不可或缺的人才;1689年,他被任命為副總檢察長(Solicitor General),是女王的主要法律顧問;在不到兩年之後,他再次獲任命為下議院議長。
1695年,約翰爵士被揭發收取大額賄賂,故被解除職務。即使如此,他仍然保留著司法職位,直至在1717年去世。
