"By descent"- this can only mean either Sam or Matthew Hall is selling it.  Considering all the stuff Grayson and Sam collected together in NYC and their Rhinebeck house, it would make sense that some excess stuff would be sold off as time went on.

The table really is a ravishing little bibelot.  I love to think of her having coffee at it and relaxing.  She had such fabulous taste.

The table brought in 3X what it was estimated for, $317,000
