Specialist note

This pembroke table with its richly grained quarter-veneers and waved fan medallion centered by crossed leaves can be compared to a group of commodes and pembroke tables identified by Lucy Wood (Catalogue of Commodes, Woodbridge, 1994, no. 21, pp. 191-194). According to Wood, the maker of this group may have taken inspiration from Thomas Chippendale's work, noting the magnificent quarter-veneered and inlaid commode with reputed Duke of Wellington provenance (op. cit, no. 20, pp. 180-186), however this maker remains anonymous.
