A GEORGE II MAHOGANY TRIPOD TABLE

The present tripod table bears some similarities to furniture supplied to the 2nd Duke of Atholl, for Atholl House (now Blair Castle), by William Masters of The Golden Fleece, Coventry Street, Piccadilly, London. This group by William Masters, is particularly well documented, as many bills are extant. See A. Coleridge, 'William Masters and some early 18th century furniture at Blair Castle, Scotland', Connoisseur, October 1963, p. 80. The bold pierced fretwork, recalls, for example the fretwork on a large set of side chairs supplied by Masters to Blair Castle (See Christie's, New York, 17 October 2003, lots 53, 54 and 109).
