Although there are several similar cabinets situate in important institutions and famous country houses, they rarely come onto the market. Research has revealed that Sir Thomas Isham, an early Grand Tourist, returned from Naples with a pair of similar cabinets which still reside at the family seat Lamport Hall in Northamptonshire. Other similar cabinets can be found at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Palazzo Barberini, Rome, the palace of Perelada, Gerona and in private collections in Mallorca.
