(Five Centuries: Furniture, Paintings & Works of Art from 1600, 27th February 2019) LATE GEORGIAN MAHOGANY FIVE PEDESTAL DINING TABLE CIRCA 1820, ONE PEDESTAL REBUILT AND LATER the rounded rectangular top with a moulded edge, each tilt-top section on a tapered pedestal, the quadruped bases with slightly hipped outswept legs ending in brass caps and castors, with four leaf inserts Extended 672cm long, 74cm high, 160cm deep Note: With spectacular views spanning the shores of Loch Lomond, Rossdhu House is a three-storey classical country house commissioined by the 26th Laird, Sir James Colquhoun in 1772 and further expanded by his son, the 27th Laird, also James Colquhoun. The Palladian style building, now grade A listed, was designed by an unknown architect, although there are some house records to indicate it may have been a Mr. Thomas Brown while Sir John Clerk of Penicuik is known to have been consulted. Built from a combination of honey and pink coloured sandstone ashlar, the house is characteristic of Scottish architecture from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and the interest in the Classical orders. It features many elements which draw upon the symmetry and proportion of the architecture of ancient Greece and Rome, including an elevated entrance featuring a striking portico framed with a series of Tuscan columns. The original central core of the house is flanked by two wings added in the 1810s, which included an enlarged dining room where the present dining table was located. The house remained the residence of the Colquhoun family until the 1980s when it was leased and developed, becoming the home of the exclusive Loch Lomond Golf Club. NB. Rossdhu House remains owned by the Colquhoun family and is currently leased to the Loch Lomond Golf Club.
