Prospective purchasers are advised that several countries prohibit the importation of property containing materials from endangered species, including but not limited to coral, ivory and tortoiseshell. Accordingly, prospective purchasers should familiarize themselves with relevant customs regulations prior to bidding if they intend to import this lot into another country.
This lot can now be attributed to the royal cabinet maker Charles Elliott (1752-1823) and dated to circa 1797-8 on the basis of close comparison with furniture he supplied for Langleys, Essex, see ‘Documented Furniture at Langleys Essex’, Country Life, 7 August 1942, pp. 264-5.
