Lot Essay

This table, with its cluster-column support, pierced buttresses, and molded top correspond to Pugin’s ‘Modern Gothic’ style. The present lot closely resembles a table illustrated in Pugin’s 1841 book (p. 41). Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin, (1812 – 1852) is arguably the most influential architect, designer, scholar and critic of the Gothic revival movement. His short but prolific career began at only age 15 in commissions for furniture for the new wing of Windsor Castle.
