Gooch is on the Hunt   

This English "Hunt Table" was intended to be be used as a wine or social table. Generally, it was wheeled in to the eating area as part of an event or gathering and placed somewhat near the fireplace. then a decanter would be passed along the brass bar on a pivotal coaster or chariot. It gained its name, however, because of its use after the fox hunt. Here the huntsmen would hang their catches on the brass bar and warm up by the fire drinking a thick lager. Today we use a similar device called a Viennese Table, which has its roots in traditions set down in Europe. Please click on picture to enlarge photo.
