An exact replica in miniature of a rare Chippendale table specially made for Newby Hall, Ripon, has been gifted to the Hall.
The name ‘Chippendale’ is a byword for fine quality furniture making all over the world and the table is a copy of the 1775 original housed in the Tapestry Room which was stolen in 2007 and recovered four years later.
Newby Hall is internationally celebrated as one of the largest and most complete surviving Chippendale interiors. Its furniture was commissioned in the 18th century as part of an interior remodelling of the Hall carried out by Robert Adam.
