Lot Essay

A related tripod rosewood jardinière in the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, was thought to have been manufactured in Bombay, circa 1830-1850, its design may have derived from patterns for wash-stands published in George Smith's Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Guide, 1826 (A. Jaffer, Furniture from British India And Ceylon, London, 2001, pp. 335-6, no. 152).
