A rare Elizabeth I joined oak long table, circa 1570The top of two wide boards, with cleated ends, above lower edge-moulded plain rails and slightly recessed ogee-shaped fretwork aprons, the latter traditionally tenoned and not pegged into the refined baluster and elongated reel-turned legs, joined all round by tall slender stretchers, with delicate run-mouldings to the outer face of the leg blocks and the lower edge of the stretchers, 144.5cm wide x 62.5cm deep x 77.5cm high, (56 1/2in wide x 24 1/2in deep x 30 1/2in high)Footnotes:A refectory table, virtually identical in design to this Lot, from the private collection of Mr & Mrs Herbert Beedham, sold Bonhams, New Bond Street, London, 28 September 2016, Lot 242, (£65,000). Both tables rare design implies they were probably made for the same interior scheme. Indeed, this Lot may have been the smaller 'serving table' made to accompany the larger 'great hall' table. The Beedham table had a printed paper label to one long frieze rail reading: ? is the Property of / St Aldhelm's House / ? Strays Society. The label presumably refers to St. Aldhelm's Home for Boys, Frome, Somerset. This purpose-built home was opened by the Waif and Strays' Society circa 1894, and could accommodate up to forty-five boys, aged from eight to fourteen. It closed in 1950. The Waifs and Strays' Society was founded in 1881 by Edward de Montjoie Rudolf (1852 -1933). The Society's objective was to establish Church of England children's homes as an alternative to workhouses and orphanages. It is presently known at The Children's Society.There is also a typed label, attached to the rear of one long frieze rail on this Lot. However, it unfortunately only describes the table, referring to its use for Communion and gives no further details of its history.A related joint stool, again with separate scroll-profiled aprons to all frieze rails, and with similar proportioned baluster and reel-turned legs, sold Christie's, Cold Overton Hall, 13 November 1990, Lot 515.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.

Similar decoration has been found on other English pieces of furniture, but usually full-size chests of drawers, some of which are dated. See, for instance, V. Chinnery, Oak Furniture: The British Tradition (2016), p. 156, Fig. 2:222 and p. 331, Fig. 3:421.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.

St J.Hornby', inside the cupboard.Charles Harold St John Hornby (1867-1946), who went by St John Hornby, was a founding partner of W.H. Smith, deputy vice-chairman of the NSPCC and High Sheriff of the County of London in 1906-7. He founded the Ashendene Press in 1895 at his home in Chelsea, which operated until 1935. The label attached to the rear of this table may have been printed by Ashendene. Together with his wife, Cicely, he amassed a large collection of antiques and contemporary furniture for his homes, Shelley House in Chelsea and Chantmarle, Dorset. Their collection was dispersed in February and March 1945 by Henry Duke & Son, auctioneers of Dorchester. Some of their pieces were given to the Victoria & Albert Museum. See, for instance, a mirror by Ernest W. Gimson (CIRC 62.1-1959). A 'rare fine French painted and iron bound casket' from the Hornby Collection was sold Sotheby's, Haute Epoque Sale, 29 October 2008, Lot 317 (£9,375). Roger Warner's collection, sold Christie's, 20-21 January 2009, included a silver-mounted treen jug with a Hornby Collection label (Lot 280, £1,062).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.
