A highly important and extremely rare mid 18th century Chippendale period carved mahogany tripod table having a beautifully faded circular revolving top with chinoiserie fret gallery and carved edge on triple c-scroll support exquisitely carved with acanthus clasps, hung with later bells and joined to a triform base issuing three cabriole scroll-legs similarly carved with cabochon ruffles and terminating in leaf carved toes with leather castors.

An almost identical table to Longford Castle is illustrated in The Dictionary of English Furniture sharing the same lightness in design and exceptional quality and suggesting a superior cabinet maker like the form of William Hallett William Vile who coincidentally also supplied furniture to Longford castle.
