Specialist note

These Pembroke tables relate in the simplicity of their design and construction to the output of the firm of Thomas Seddon in the late Regency period and into the reign of George IV. Almost identical turned legs combined with a triple reed-edged top feature on a washstand with the firm's Aldersgate Street label, supplied to John Thullusson, 2nd Baron Rendlesham (d. 1832) for Brodsworth Hall, Yorkshire (C. Gilbert, Marked London Furniture 1660-1840, Leeds, 1996, p. 408, pl. 810).
