Summary
An oak 'refectory' type table, London, circa 1859-1866, almost certainly designed by Philip Speakman Webb (1831-1915) and probably made under the aegis of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner and Co, the rectangular top supported on eight round legs with line-incised and shaped square-section feet, joined by thick chamfered stretchers. The table is stylistically similar and of contemporary date to the original pair of tables (location unknown) which are known to have been designed by Philip Webb for Red House. Surviving examples of Philip Webb designed tables are rare.
