A GEORGE III MAHOGANY, EBONISED AND SATINWOOD CROSSBANDED BEDSIDE COMMODE

This neatly made bedside table, with fine mahogany veneers highlighted with satinwood crossbanding and ebonised details to the tambour shutter, top and feet, can be related to the documented oeuvre of the Golden Square cabinet-making partnership of William Ince and John Mayhew. A pair of related serpentine bedside tables with tambour fronts were supplied to the 3rd Earl of Coventry for Croome Court, in circa 1776 and a pair of night tables with striped tambour fronts and ebonised edge to the tops were supplied to the Duke of Devonshire in circa 1786-90 and are at Chatsworth (H. Roberts and C. Cator, Industry and Ingenuity - The Partnership of William Ince and John Mayhew, London, 2022, pp. 405-6, figs. 453 and 456).
