A pair of card-tables of very similar design and decoration were sold anonymously in these Rooms, 9 April 1992, lot 104. They were almost certainly by the same maker and there appears to be a group of high quality furniture of an almost Anglo-Indian design style and made in ivory on kingwood. Its stylistic origins are difficult to determine. The decoration obviously relates to contemporary French-style brass inlaid furniture but it seems likely that the designers were also aware of antiquarian types such as the suite of ebony and ivory furniture supplied circa 1805 to the Gothic library at Stowe, probably to designs by Sir John Soane (see: F.Collard, Regency Furniture, Woodbridge, 1985, p.164)
