A. W. N. Pugin, J. C. Crace Gothic Revival Carved Oak Library, Hall or Serving Table
POA
A. W. N. Pugin
A rare Gothic Revival carved oak library or serving table with floor level display shelf. Probably made by J. C. Crace. Pugin used a number of recurring motifs on furniture in the House of Lords, the Royal apartments, and in the House of Commons.
Among those are the Tudor rose, a five-petal combination of the white rose of York and the red rose of Lancaster, including the Queen's monogram, "VR" for "Victoria Regina," which is carved each side of a "T" entwined with clover style leaves within a blind Quatrefoil. The carved floral extensions to the upper legs are seen in his earlier work, as too are the arched details and through tenons.
Width: 54 in (137.16 cm)
Depth: 19 in (48.26 cm)
