William Wilkinson (d.1833)was an upholsterer and cabinet-maker, who traded from 1808 at 14 Ludgate Hill, London. He is particularly known for his patent furniture which was a great success. His sons, William and Charles joined him in the business and it continued after their father's death as William and Charles Wilkinson. The stamp on this table was used until circa 1820 until the mid 1820s by William Wilkinson following his take over of Quentin Kaye's Ludgate Hill premises in 1807. (C. Gilbert, The Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture, Leeds, pp.55, 56) and also The Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840, Leeds, pp.977-978).
