NOTES
-----
type: history note
value: Commissioned by Alexander 'Aleco' Ionides (1840-98) in c. 1975 on the occasion of his marriage to Isabella Sechiari. It is believed that the commode remained in 1 Holland Park until 1908, when Isabella sold the house. The commode may have passed by descent to her daughter, Penelope, and her husband, Robert Hotchkiss, Paisley, Scotland (1913-46). Throughout most of the twentieth century, the whereabouts of the commode is unknown. Private collection, Yorkshire, 2021. Sold David Duggleby Auctioneers, 14 August 2021, lot 1171 (described as a 'twentieth century oriental cabinet'). With Oscar Graf Gallery, where purchased by the Museum.
