Note from Tim Corfield, antiques advisor to Betty and Gordon Moore at Mountain Meadow:

This table made in h about 1770 is in the manner of the cabinet maker John Cobb who was one of the masters of English French taste furniture. He designed supremely elegant cabriole legs and used marquetry of the finest quality. The table has recently suffered from a little water damage on the top where a vase of flowers was clearly over watered but there is only a very small piece of a petal missing, so restoration should be straight forward.

The top and proper left side with considerable sunfading to surface. the top with additional water damage to marquetry with and area of loss to left side of central floral scene. Some of the floral details on sides and front of body enhanced. Small area of loss to veneer on proper left side of apron. Additional images available upon request.
