Lot Essay

A china-railed tea-table of this pattern, but featuring paired balusters, is likely to have been amongst the Belton House furniture acquired by Sir John and Lady Cust following their marriage in 1743. It was sold from Belton, Lincolnshire, Christie's house sale, 30 April-5 May 1984, lot 71 (see The History and Treasures of Belton House, 1963, p. 18).
