Lot Essay

The table with its voluted truss-supports, laurel festoons and sacred urn conceived in the French Grecian manner of the 1760s, is likely to have been purchased for Culford Hall, Suffolk at the time of its aggrandisement by George Henry Cadogan, 5th Earl Cadogan (d. 1915) around 1900. Earl Cadogan was Patricia Coke's grandfather.
