This table once formed part of the collection formed by Mr. and Mrs. Basil Ionides for Buxted Park, Sussex which they acquired in 1931. Mrs. Ionides, the daughter of 1st Viscount Bearstead, married her second husband in 1930 but had been collecting from the early 1920's under the advice of furniture historian Margaret Jourdain. Her brother, also a great collector, bought Upton House, Warwickshire in 1927 when he succeeded to the title and gave the house and its collections to the National Trust in 1948. The Ionides collection was sold by Sotheby's London in various sales in 1963 and 1964.
