The prominent ebonised border framing the table top together with the appearance of chequerboard banding suggests that this Pembroke table is possibly by the celebrated firm of Mayhew & Ince. It is closely related to a table formerly in the collection of James Orrock (d. 1913) of 46 Bedford Square, London, subsequently sold in 1910 to William Hesketh Lever, 1st Viscount Leverhulme (d. 1925), and recorded as part of Lord Leverhulme’s museum collection at Hulme Hall, Port Sunlight in 1912-13. A virtually identical table to the latter sold from the Leidesdorf collection, Sotheby’s, London, 27-28 June 1974, lot 105.
