| 946 | THE GLEMHAM HALL TABLE A GEORGE III MAHOGANY SIX-PILLAR DINING TABLE, the rectangular top with rounded end sections, each pillar with a turned "cannon-barrel" shaft and a tripod base with elongated pad feet, the underside with evidence of earlier fixings and alteration. 152.5" x 60.5". Provenance: The underside of the table retains several labels inscribed in an 18th century hand "Dudley North, Esq. Glemham Hall, near Saxmundham, Suffolk". This is likely to be Dudley North (1706-1764), the grandson of Elihu Yale, founder of Yale University, who married Barbara, daughter of Thomas
Herbert, The Earl of Pembroke. He died without issue in 1764, having
outlived his wife. His fortune was bequest to his sisters, Ann (who
married The Honourable Nicholas Herbert) and Mary (who married Charles Long
of Saxmundham). Ann succeeded to the Glemham Estate but, having
outlived her children left it on her death in 1789 to her sisters son,
Dudley Long Esq. who assumed the surname North. Dudley Long North died
without issue in 1829 and the estate reverted to the senior branch of the
North family and became the property of the Eighth Earl of Guildford. If the table was, indeed, commissioned by Dudley North (died 1764) it would appear to be among the earliest documented multiple dining tables extant. See illustration |
