Lot Essay

THERE IS A CLOSELY RELATED TABLE MADE BY MARSH AND JONES, LEEDS TO A DESIGN BY CHARLES BEVAN (1865) THAT WAS COMMISSIONED TITUS SALT JNR. THE GEOMETRIC INLAID DECORATION AND CHAMFERING IS CHARACTERISTIC OF CHARLES BEVAN AND JOSEPH SEDDON, TO WHOM BEVAN WAS PURPORTEDLY APPRENTICED CIRCA 1862. THOUGH BEVAN'S DESIGNS, EXECUTED BY FIRMS SUCH AS MARSH & JONES OF LEEDS FOR TITUS SALT JR. OF SALTAIRE AND NOW PARTIALLY AT LOTHERTON HALL, LEEDS, IT IS NOT UNLIKELY THAT SMALLER FIRMS FOLLOWED HIS DESIGNS TO A SIMILAR EFFECT.
