Lot Essay

The marquetry to this table, particularly the strapwork banding, bears close comparison with the table stamped by Blake included in this sale, furthermore it is possible that this is the 'Small French Table of Tulipwood etc., the top richly Inlayed with Marquetrie... with drawer in frieze' which was billed to Hope Edwardes by Blake at £44 in 1868 (family archive). Please see also lots 72 & 91.
