Lot Essay

William Bertram is recorded in The Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840, Leeds, 1986, as trading from 100 Dean Street, Soho from 1839. They were both dealers and cabinet-makers and these two tables were possibly restored by them and subsequently retailed.

A related matched pair of harewood and marquetry urn stands was sold from the Haas Collection, Christies New York, 13 October 1995, lot 414.
