CIRCA 1870, ATTRIBUTED TO JULIUS YACOBY OF REGENT STREET

This table relates closely to the output of Julius Yacoby, who was listed in Kelly's Post Office Directory, 1877 as an 'Art Furniture Manufacturer, Cabinet Maker, Specialist for Carved Oak Furniture, Retail Cabinet Seller, Church Fitting and Furniture Manufacturer, Interior Decorator, Parquet Flooring Manufacturer and Upholsterer'. An almost identical table stamped by Yacoby was sold Christie's South Kensington, 17 February 2008, lot 79 and had provenance from Strawberry Hill, Twickenham. A chair by Yacoby is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
