Mahogany tripod table from the workshop of Thomas Chippendale (1718-79)

            Acquired by the Paxton Trust in 2014

The elegant design of this table has been dated on stylistic grounds to the Chippendale commission ordered by Ninian Home for Paxton House between 1774 and 1791. The same decorative motifs appear on bedroom furniture listed on the 1774 invoice and on the dining room suite thought to have been purchased two years later. Chippendale is considered by many the greatest maker of English furniture and the tea or work table was a key item in his repertoire. The fact that this table underwent significant repair at the beginning of the nineteenth century adds to its interest as a study piece. The acquisition is in line with Paxton Trust’s policy of actively seeking to acquire pieces which were commissioned for the house.
