Lot Essay

This table formerly belonged to Nancy Lancaster (1897-1994). Born in Virginia, she had a huge influence on interior decoration in the 20th century, including the late John Fowler, and the style of decoration and furniture arranging that they developed together remains a strong force in English decorating. Kelmarsh Hall in Northamptonshire was her first major house in England, taken with her husband Ronald Tree for the hunting, while her last house was Haseley Court in Oxfordshire.
