History
2 Stickers on the back of the item written "Hampton Depository". This was a furniture store in the UK, located near Queen Subway station (current location). The property was later sold to the Canadian Government. This piece is know to have furnished the Canadian Consulate in New York City and was given to me by a government official's former chauffer who received it as a gift. The original furniture store apparently existed during the late 1800s to the early 1900s.
