An Important George III Chippendale Period Carved Mahogany Pie Crust Table

Height: 28" 71cm
Diameter: 31" 79.5cm

The table has a 'pie-crust' top supported on a fluted column with a spirally fluted vase above double 'C' scroll legs standing on rock-work feet.

This exceptional table, constructed out of dense mahogany timber, has turned a rich golden colour and is well patinated. The top, which pivots on the base, still retains its original lock. The base has no breaks to the legs.

The table is significant on three counts, the condition of the table being one, the overall scale of the table another and finally its most unusual base. The niche carved between each leg is a particularly interesting feature and may be compared to niches seen on other tables and candle-stands, including documented examples by Chippendale for Aske Hall and Harewood House. Whilst designs for the distinctive double 'C' scroll legs may be found by both Chippendale and Ince and Mayhew.

English, Circa 1760

The table carries a depository label identifying it as having belonged to Lord Ebury. There is a strong possibility that this table was supplied for Sir Lawrence Dundas (d.1781), who employed Chippendale in the furnishing of Moor Park, Hertfordshire as well as Aske Hall, Yorkshire. His mansion at Moor Park, together with much of its furnishings, was later acquired by Robert 2nd Earl Grosvenor, later lst Marquess of Wesminster (d.1845) and passed to his third son Lord Ebury, created 1st Baron Ebury (d.1893).
