Summary
A rosewood side, or sofa, table, English, 19th century. Possibly a sofa table with its drop-leaf ends removed. The rectangular top crossbanded in calamander and above a pair of cockbeaded frieze drawers with brass handles; the lower edge of the frieze with applied reeded bead moulding. Raised on a pair of broadening rectangular-section end supports, each on a pair of downswept legs terminating in brass lion's paw-cast caps and castors.
Provenance
Possibly listed in the Inventory taken at Wimpole in the Guest Bedroom (p. 9). Date of acquisition not recorded, but probably acquired by George Bambridge (1892 - 1943) and Elsie Bambridge (1896 - 1976), who purchased a largely empty Wimpole in 1938. The hall and contents were bequeathed to the National Trust in 1976 by Elsie Bambridge.
