Lot Essay

The tables' palm-flowered escutcheons framed by Egyptian sunburst handles feature on early 19th century furniture supplied by Gillow of London and Lancaster, such as the sofa-table supplied for Shugborough, Staffordshire (J. Martin Robinson, Shugborough, 1989, p. 76). The same pattern was adopted by John McLean & Son and appears on a group of lyre-trestled library-tables attributed to his Marylebone Street firm. A table of this pattern was originally supplied to the Lords Brownlow, Belton, Lincolnshire, and was recently sold anonymously, Christie's, New York, 17 October 2003, lot 176. A pair of closely related sofa tables was sold anonymously, Christie's, London 27 April 2006, lot 329 (£31,200 including premium).
