The Sea Dog Table is one of the treasures of Hardwick Hall like the Eglantine Table.[1] It is a very elaborately carved Tudor table associated with some interesting historical anecdotes concerning the Cavendishes. There is speculation that it may have been a possession of Queen Elizabeth I or Mary Queen of Scots, and it is regarded as one of the most important examples of 16th century furniture in Britain.[2]
