| Object history | In 1936 Ravilious was commissioned by Lady Sempill of Dunbar Hay and Company to design a table, two arm chairs and two single chairs for a client. Several of these Regency Revival suites were made, but Ravilious designed no other furniture. The Neo-Georgian and other revivals are at present under-represented at the V&A. |
