Lot Essay

The table's 'altar' pillar on scrolled 'claw' relates to a Grecian 'loo' or centre-table pattern of 1804 published in Thomas Sheraton's Cabinet-Maker, Upholsterer, and General Artist's Encyclopaedia, pl. 4. This table's robustly reeded pillars relate to the Edinburgh manufactures of William Trotter, such as the 1814 library chairs supplied for Paxton House, Scotland (F. Bamford, Dictionary of Edinburgh Wrights and Furniture Makers, Leeds, 1983, pls. 50 and 51).
