A GEORGE III SATINWOOD AND MARQUETRY PEMBROKE TABLE

The superb quality of this table, both in execution and design, suggests it likely originated from a spohisticated London workshop. A near identical table was recorded in the collection at Culzean Castle, Ayrshire. It is tempting to consider Thomas Chippendale as a candiate for this table given its quality and design. It is conceivable that the Culzean table is indigenous and as the castle was a Robert Adam commission the architect's strong links with Chippendale can only support the case. A further near identical table was sold, Sotheby's, London, 18 November 1994, lot 139 (£8,625 incl.)
