I possess a partiality for irregular houses, when you go up and down steps, out of one room into another and when you come upon more rooms when you think you have seen all there are, and where then is a bountiful provision of little halls & passages, and where you find older rooms in unexpected places with lattice windows and green growth pressing through them.

Gilt marble-topped table
Carved gilt marble-topped table, the top of which forms a half turtle shape. Lyre-shaped back with two curved supports extending from the base, which rests on a marble piece. Floral designs on front panel and large flowers decorate the corners and center panel at the top of the table.
