Specialist note

A pair of side cabinets of the same form and ornamentation was supplied by George Oakley (d.1840) for Charles Madryll Cheere at Papworth Hall, Cambridgeshire in 1810 (illustrated in M. Jourdain, 'English Empire Furniture made by George Oakley', Architectural Review, December 1920). George Oakley worked in partnership with various cabinetmakers including George Shackleton and George Seddon, producing furniture in the Grecian taste and specializing in 'buhl' inlay (C.Gilbert and G.Beard, eds., Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840, 1986, pp. 658-660).
