Lot Essay

The corner commode-table (encoignure), intended for vase or candelabrum display and concealing a pot compartment, is designed in the mid-18th century antique manner. With its 'columnar' and reed-banded commode supported on a vase-enriched baluster and tripod 'claw', it relates to one acquired for Uppark, Hampshire by Sir Matthew Fetherstonhaugh (d.1774) (J. Shurmer, Uppark, 1989, p.28).
