Still to be found in the Morning Room at Sambourne House, Linley Sambourne originally purchased this Moorish bone and mother of pearl inlaid table in 1892 for £4.5.0.
For the eagle eyed observer, you'll spot it frequently in both his photography and illustrations 👀

We are deeply saddened to hear of the death of our dear friend and supporter John Schaeffer. A passionate art collector and a great admirer of Leighton's work.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends in Australia.

Sambourne used to exercise outdoors every day; from horse riding (up to the mid-1890s his diary has more entries about his horse than anything else); to his 'tea and tennis' soirees and playing golf enthusiastically until his was in his 60s.
