Object Description

An elegant Georgian style mahogany ‘Spider Leg’ side table,

English or Scottish, 19th century.

We love the elegant simplicity of this table, the unusual thinness of its components, which lend this design a very delicate look.

Object History

A number of closely related side tables in mahogany, attributed to ‘The Dumfries House Cabinet-Maker’, possibly Thomas Chippendale, was supplied circa 1760 to Lord Dumfries at Dumfries House, Scotland. Thomas Chippendale also supplied ‘Two neat Mahogany Spider leg Tables of good wood’ to Sir Edwin Knatchbull for Mersham-le-Hatch in 1768. A further related table at The Vyne, Hampshire was described in the 1776 inventory as a ‘spider leg’ table.
