This sideboard-table, with marble slab supported by golden bacchantae-headed and truss-scrolled pilasters enriched with palm-flowered brackets, is designed in the mid-19th century 'antique' manner. It is likely to have been amongst the furniture commissioned by William Wentworth FitzWilliam Hume Dick MP around 1870, at the time of the building of Humewood Castle, Co. Wicklow by the architect Albert Kimberley of Banbury. A related sideboard-table featured amongst the work exhibited at the London Exhibition of 1862 and is illustrated in J.B. Waring, Masterpieces of Industrial Art and Sculpture at the International Exhibition, 1863 (see E.T. Joy, Pictorial Dictionary of British 19th Century Furniture Design, Woodbridge, 1972, p. 456).
