Note du spécialiste

The carved blind fretwork on this card table can be compared to both pierced and blind carving that appears on an elaborate suite of furniture, almost certainly supplied to George Weller-Poley Esq. for Boxsted Hall, Sufolk; sold by the Trustees of the J.H. Weller-Poley Will Trust, Christie's, London 3 July 1997, lots 20-23. The pair of card-tables from the suite (lot 23) was sold for £38,900 including premium. Such 'Gothick' fretwork designs featured on chair-patterns in Thomas Chippendale's Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, 1754, pl. XXI.
