This monumental dining-table can be attributed to Gillows, the Lancaster firm, who supplied a related extending dining-table, 'to accomodate 30 persons' to William, 2nd Baron Bolton (d. 1850) for Hackwood Park, Hampshire in 1813. The Hackwood dining-table has similar heavily-reeded legs, with feet concealing the castors and was sold from Hackwood, Christie's house sale, 20-22 April 1998, lot 163 (£155,500 inc. premium).
The heavily-reeded edge of the present dining-table is a feature found on many Irish pedestal dining-tables of the early 19th Century (see one belonging to the Wilson family of Hinton, Londonderry, sold anonymously, in these Rooms, 23 April 1998, lot 112).
