CIRCA 1760, THE BASES ADAPED TO FIT THE TOPS

The tables in their present form relate closely to the pair at the Vyne, Hampshire (illustrated in P. Macquoid and R. Edwards, The Dictionary of English Furniture, London, 1924, vol. III, p. 271, fig. 54 and reproduced here). The Vyne tables, which share the same blind fretwork pattern, and leg and bracket design, were almost certainly supplied by Royal cabinet-makers France and Bradburne for John Chute (d. 1776) between 1765-1767 when they are listed in the accounts.
