Lot Essay

The 'Elizabethan' table, with Grecian Ionic pilasters incorportaing acanthus-wrapped Ionic and reeded 'vase' balusters, reflects the William IV antiquarian fashion promoted by Thomas King's Specimens of Furniture in the Elizabethan and Louis Quatorze styles. James Winter was a retailer of furniture who founded his business at 101 Wardour Street in 1823. The business survived until 1870, when it was operating from 151, 153 and 155 Wardour Street (The Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840, Leeds, 1986, p. 992-3 and C. Gilbert, Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture 1700-1840, Leeds, 1996, p. 47 and figs. 1020-3).
