Note:

The sophisticated combination of exotic timbers, refined proportions and use of mahogany to line the drawers indicate this pembroke table was the product of one of London’s finest cabinet-makers during the height of ‘French fashioned’ designs in the 1770s. Potential candidates could be Thomas Chippendale (1718-1779) who supplied a related lady’s writing table to Nostell Priory in 1767 (NT 959738) and whose work also features the same distinctive pattern to the legs. John Cobb (d. 1778) is also a possibility as he was renowned for his refined French fashioned tables that incorporated highly figured exotic timbers.

With key and original leather casters. A peg repair at one edge to stabilize a crack. A small section of missing veneer from one band of the top.
