The Vaughans were supporters of American independence, and in 1783,they moved to Philadelphia, the new nation's capital. They quickly became important members of Philadelphia society, befriending Benjamin Franklin and George Washington and joining the American Philosophical Society.
This piece is on display in the Chinese Armorial Gallery in the Reeves.
