Lot Essay

A serpentine Pembroke table with related 'lozenge' pattern of top has been attributed to Henry Hill of Marlborough who, in the 1760s and 1770s supplied furniture for Lord Methuen at Corsham Court, Wiltshire. Another marquetry table of similar design was at Burderop House, Wiltshire (L. Wood, 'Furniture for Lord Delaval: Metropolitan and Provincial', Furniture History, 1990, p. 205, figs. 17 & 18.). There is much to suggest that these tables, including the present table, are by Hill of Marlborough, in that they are found within the geographical confines of Hill's clientele in and around Marlborough.
