Summary
One of a pair of George III side tables with florentine scagliola slab tops decorated (perhaps by Domenico Bartoli) with the Arms of the first Baron Scarsdale, with band of egg and dart moulding, below this between rosettes is a frieze of carved acanthus leaves interspersed with fluting, spirally turned legs. Originally made for Lord Scarsdale's dressing room in the Family Pavillion. Tops probably supplied by Joseph Wilton in 1759 and the bases made by local craftsmen including Robert Robinson and Joseph Hall.
