Lot Essay

There are two furniture makers called William Knight, one recorded in Canterbury, Kent, and the other in Salisbury, Wiltshire, although both are recorded at a slightly later date than this card table appears to be (see Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840, Leeds, 1986, p.519-20).
