Lot Essay

The table, executed in Grecian-black figured Goncalo-Alves resembling rosewood, is raised on a hollow-sided 'Roman' altar tripod base, while its pillar is solomonic-spiralled in the Elizabethan 'Gothic' fashion illustrated in R.Ackermann's Repository of Arts, 1817. It bears the brand of the prestigious Oxford Street firm established by Henry Miles and John Edwards in 1822, and taken over in 1844 by C. Hindley and Sons.
