Specialist note

The brand 'EHB' is that of Edward Holmes Baldock (d.1846), the renowned London dealer or marchand-mercier who traded as 'Antique Furniture and Ornamental China Dealer' from 1808-1844, and was patronized by George IV, William IV and Queen Victoria. Baldock was responsible for forming many of the greatest 19th Century English collections of French furniture, including those of the Dukes of Buccleuch and Northumberland, William Beckford and George Byng.
