The centre of this table is painted with heraldic symbols which probably relate to Henry Pelham-Clinton , 5th Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne , KG, PC (1811-1864) . He married Lady Susan Hamilton (1814-1888) on the 27th November 1832 and this table might have been made to commemorate their wedding. It may well have formed part of the furnishings of Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire which was demolished in 1938.
