Lot Essay

Thomas Sheraton's The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing Book, 1793, pl. 26, illustrated a pattern for a lyre-trestled Ladies work-table. Related ribbon inlay in brass and ebony, after the French manner, featured on a set of quartetto tables supplied in 1810 by George Oakley for Papworth Hall (M. Jourdain, Regency Furniture, rev. ed., London, 1965, p. 69, fig. 145).
