Catalogue Note
The form of the leg on the current table is akin in the simplicity and strength of design to a set of eight hall chairs with similar paterae capped reeded legs supplied to Sir Roland Winn for Nostell Priory, Yorkshire by Thomas Chippendale circa 1775, one of which is illustrated in C. Gilbert, The Life and Works of Thomas Chippendale, London, 1978, vol. II, p.97, fig.157.
