Lot Essay

Its presence in the 1913 photographs makes it certain that this table was at Hackwood during the Bolton period but there is very little other furniture of this date in the house and nor was any building work undertaken at that time. It therefore remains possible that this table was brought from another house later in the 19th Century.
