A fine William IV rosewood breakfast table, the crossbanded egg and dart moulded tilt top on conforming concave tapering column and triform base with massive scrolling leaf capped hairy paw feet and concealed brass castors, 140cm diameterNote from vendor: This table was owned by my godmother, Alison O'Connor, the widow of Peter O'Connor, who lived in one of the Duke of Norfolk's houses in Arundel, Sussex. Aunt Alison, as I called her, became a friend of the Norfolks and it is thought the table belonged to them and she bought the table from them and had the chairs made for the table. She was a wealthy woman and keen racegoer. Her husband is featured in the Monica MacIvory portrait you are selling for me. I am keeping her portrait by the same woman. Monica MacIvory also painted my mother but that was sold to Spain for some reason!
