Lot Essay
The 'H. Ponsonby' to the label to the underside of this table cabinet suggests it was likely the personal property Henrietta, Countess of Bessborough, wife of Frederick Ponsonby, 3rd Earl of Bessborough (1758-1844). Their second son Major-General Sir Frederick Cavendish Ponsonby (1783-1837) married Lady Emily Charlotte Bathurst (d. 1877), daughter of the 3rd Earl Bathurst, and it is probably via this connection that the cabinet entered the Bathurst collection at Cirencester Park.
