A George III giltwood carved console table

possibly by Seddon, Sons and Shackleton
The shaped rectangular maple top with concave sides above a guilloche carved and moulded frieze flanked by paterae on stiff leaf carved and wreathed turned legs on toupie feet, top possibly associated, with an old paper label to the underside, '..s GRAINGER STEWART, DRUMINTOUL LODGE', 149cm wide, 44cm deep, 86cm high (58.5in wide, 17in deep, 33.5in high).

Footnotes

Provenance:
The Right Hon May Elizabeth Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville, 11th Lady Kinloss (1852-1944) and thence by descent to her son:
The Hon Robert William Morgan-Grenville (1892-1988) and thence by direct descent to the vendor.

The present table was almost certainly removed from Stowe House, Buckinghamshire by Lady Kinloss in 1921 when she moved to Moreton Lodge, Maids Moreton, Buckinghamshire. Robert Morgan-Grenville was born and raised at Stowe. See also note to Lot 42.

The table has a printed label for Drumintoul Lodge, Rothiemurchus, Scottish Highlands. Drumintoul Lodge was built in 1878 for shooting and stalking.

This table has some features in the carving which can be closely compared with a pair of George III painted and parcel-gilt torchères by Seddon, Sons and Shackleton made by the firm for Richard Clarke at Bridwell House, Dorset in 1792, (sold Sotheby's, London 19 June 1981, lot 109).

The French style leg pattern employed on the table here relates to an engraved design by Thomas Sheraton from the Accompaniment to the Drawing Book, pl.76-77 for three patterns for chair legs dated 1793.
