專家說明

This multi-purpose table, with inlaid top concealing a rising 'harlequin' writing-desk 'cartonnier' nest-of-drawers, relates to a design by Thomas Sheraton (d.1806) in The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing Book, 1793, plate LVI from Part III, and in the early 19th century the firm of George Seddon took out a patent for a related spring operated 'harlequin' fitment for a Pembroke table (A.Heal, London Furniture-Makers, 1953, p.260, fig.47.
The use of yew wood as a large-scale veneer among London cabinet-makers appears to be peculiar to the Golden Square firm of Mayhew Ince as a large scale veneer and the ebonised decoration was also a characteristic of the firm's work.
