A rare early Art Nouveau Satinwood side table made for Pownall Hall, Cheshire.Mackmurdo’s influence in Europe is recognised as having produced the earliest examples of Art Nouveau, particularly in the styling of a chair-back designed in 1882, and the title page for Wren’s City Churches a year later.
