很可能由鄧伽農（Dungannon）第一代子爵亞瑟•希爾•卓佛（Arthur Hill Trevor）（約1694-1771年）購下， 置於貝爾沃莊園（Belvoir Park）或其倫敦宅邸；

自此由鄧伽農（Dungannon）子爵三世亞瑟•希爾•卓佛（Arthur Hill-Trevor）收藏，直至其身後遺產轉至唐克郡（Downshire）侯爵之三子艾文•希爾（Lord Edwin Hill）（1819-1894年)，其於1890年獲封為貝克奈（Brynkinalt）卓佛男爵；

自此家族收藏。

These beautifully carved console tables would benefit from restoration and cleaning according to taste. Tops Each of thelacquer tops with shrinkage cracks along construction joints which has made the surface uneven. Wear and losses to the lacquer surface, particularly to the rock work and tree branches, commensurate with age and use. One of the tops (as illustrated page 145 of the catalogue) with loss to corner of moulded edge. Supports The supports re-gilt and with ingrained dirt, and could benefit from a clean according to taste. Overall with marks, chips to gilding and scratches commensurate with age and use. One of the supports has been partially dry stripped to reveal the original gilding (as illustrated on page 144 of the catalogue), and it seems much of the original gilding remains intact. There are losses to the carved elements and restorations to both supports including, inter alia: Table illustrated on page 144 - Right ram mask: one horn with loss to tip, the other horn with approximately 2/3rds lacking. - Left ram mask: losses to tips of the horns - Losses to carved Greek Key elements at top of both ogee supports - Losses and repairs to carved leaf elements of the swags and carved leaves issuing from the pedestal. The swags at the front appear to have been reattached. Table illustrated on page 145 - Chips and losses to carved leaf festoons - Repaired breaks to Greek Key and the corner edge of the Greek Key at top of right hand ogee support is lacking - Tips of right ram's horns missing - The carved swags to the front and right return have been crudely reattached and the repairs are visible.

這對供桌極有可能是由亞瑟·希爾·卓佛（Arthur Hill Trevor）為愛爾蘭唐郡（County Down）的貝爾沃莊園（Belvoir Park）或其倫敦宅邸而委託定製。亞瑟·希爾是來自希爾斯伯勒（Hillsborough）的米高·希爾（Michael Hill of Hillsborough）的小兒子；在十七至十八世紀期間，希爾家族在北愛爾蘭建立起昭卓的事業；十六世紀末時，莫伊塞斯·希爾（Moyses Hill）更曾跟隨塞克斯伯爵（Earl of Essex）前往愛爾蘭。

這對供桌傳為出自倫敦家具名匠約翰‧連尼爾（John Linnell）之手，當時歐洲大陸的繪圖師、尤其是巴黎的尚·沙爾·德拉福斯（Jean Charles Delafosse），對他的影響尤深。德拉福斯在1768年出版過一書《Nouvelle Iconologie Historique》（譯：《新圖像學歷史》），書中提及一件壁燈座或供桌，其設計與本品相似：彎形支架以樹葉點綴，頂部飾希臘迴文渦卷及垂花。連尼爾設計過一件供桌及一面壁鏡，亦採用了這種繁麗華美的風格，年份約1765年，並附有英文銘刻「Eating or back Parlour」（譯：「飯廳或後客廳」），現藏於倫敦維多利亞與艾伯特博物館。連尼爾採用了1750年代中期於法國流行一時的希臘風格，尤其是他為諾森伯蘭第一代公爵休·史密遜所製作的一件家具，是為倫敦諾森伯蘭公館或艾尼克堡（Alnwick Castle）而製，至今仍屬諾森伯蘭珍藏。
