| Object history | On loan to Valence House, Dagenham, 1955-2008 Purchased for £36 (?), also noted as £30, from C. J. Sterling, 30 Launceston Place, Cornwall Gardnes, W8 RP 55/2423, 29/10324 Object notes from TM, 20.10.97: 'Oak, the drawer front carved with the initials SR and the date. Lent by the Board of Trustees of the Victoria and Albert Museum. The drawer handles are missing - they were originally metal pendant handles as the surface either side of the sunken panels has circular score marks equidistant from the handle fixing hole. The table is curiously low suggesting that the legs may have been cut down at the top, although the spiral-twist turned sections are complete. The drawer is of very crude nailed construction. TM 20.10.97' |
