Lot Essay


The design of this table is derived from that for a table made by Morant and Co. and supplied to the 2nd Duke and Duchess of Sutherland in 1838. Further related tables were exhibited by the firm at the 1851 Great Exhibition, see J. Meyer, Great Exhibitions 1851-1900, Woodbridge, 2006, p.29, pl. A18, a more elaborate interpretation of the design, attributed to Morant & Co., is held in the collection of The Victoria & Albert Museum, London (W.34:1, 2-1980).
