Specialist note

George Oakley (d. 1840) was one of the pioneers of 'Buhl' inlay, a form of decoration that regained popularity during the early years of the Regency. The use of ebony inlay in this table with fashionable materials such as mahogany are characterisitic of the high quality furniture made by Oakley.
