A specimen marble pedestal table, circa 1825, some of the marbles possibly Italian, but probably worked into a table at either the Ashford Marble Works in Derbyshire, or the Ashburton Works in Devon, and installed in the Billiard Room as part of Charles Winn's (1795 - 1874) refurbishment of that room after his marriage in 1819. The circular top inlaid with radiating specimens of marble within a black marble border. The facetted baluster-turned pedestal with turned collars, raised on a stepped octagonal base.

The specimen marbles possibly acquired by John Winn (d. 1817) when he was on the Grand Tour in Rome. Purchased by the National Trust by private treaty sale from Lord St Oswald in 2010.
