Lot Essay

The central support with beaded flowerhead roundels is characteristic of the Edinburgh furniture-maker William Trotter in the period around 1815, and is particularly close to a stand that he supplied to Paxton House, Berwickshire, in 1814 (F. Bamford, A Dictionary of Edinburgh Furniture Makers, Leeds, 1983, pl. 58).
