This large reception table can be transformed into three "breakfast tables", a typical Anglo-Saxon design that justifies the need for triple legs.
Provenance: this table was offered by the Bishop of London to Princess Sophia (1777-1848), daughter of George III and therefore sister of George IV
. Her heirs took the table to Canada, then the different elements were divided before being finally reunited by the current owner. Automatically translated by DeepL. To see the original version, click here.
