Note from Tim Corfield, antiques advisor to Betty and Gordon Moore at Mountain Meadow:
This Chippendale period dish top Pembroke table is a rare example and corresponds closely to supper tables illustrated in “the Director”. The dish top was presumably created to hold a salver or tray. The legs and stretcher are most attractive. I bought an almost identical one in the Holkham Attic Sale at Sworders 11 Feb 2025 Lot 92 for a hammer price of £10,000.
In overall good, stable, attractive condition. Old scuffs, marks and scratches throughout consistent with age and use. The center board of top with heavier wear and staining also consistent with age and use. The top element of the circular stretcher likely replaced. Additional images available upon request.
The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.
The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
