AN IMPORTANT GEORGE III NEO-CLASSICAL GILTWOOD AND GESSO PAINTED 'D' SHAPED PIER-TABLE, c.1770, the top with central sunburst and a wide border with a scroll and griffin flanked urn, trailing ivy and pearl border, the fluted frieze with rams heads on turned fluted legs. 122cm wide, 55cm deep, 84cm This lot has a traditional provenance of Headfort House and this has much merit as it corresponds to the extant furnishings supplied to the Earl of Bective c.1775, and more specifically it can be compared directly to a pair of pier tables from the Green Drawing room recently acquired by the National Museum, one of which is illustrated, Peill & Glin, ''Irish Furniture'', p.219 The Knight of Glin considered these tables to be Irish and posited that the plasterer John McCullough ws responsible for the distinctive frieze of ram's heads and acanthus filled stop-fluting. It is possible that the painted decoration which echoes the Adams friezes with opposing griffins and other neo-classical allusions is original. Headfort is one of the great interiors designed by Robert Adam in Ireland and the 'eating-parlour' has been magnificently restored.
