The high quality of this games table is demonstrated by the fine feather-banding that borders the top, a feature that might easily be overlooked. The table's general pattern corresponds to another bearing the label of Benjamin Crook, joiner and cabinet-maker of The George & Whyte Lion, St Paul's Churchyard, from c. 1732 until 1748, illustrated in C. Gilbert, Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture 1700 - 1840, Leeds, 1996, p.169, fig. 265 (and illustrated here). A related table was sold Christie's, London, 22 January 2009, lot 85 (£17,500 inc. premium), another sold Christie's, New York, 27 November 2015, the Property of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a table formerly in the collection of Irwin Untermeyer, lot 62 ($23,750 inc. premium), and another most recently sold Christie's, London, 23 May 2018, lot 8.
Interestingly, a very similar example - with only minor difference to the leg carving - was sold from the same collection (The P.E.L. Wood Trust) at Christie's, London, 6 July 1989, lot 108 (£40,700 inc. premium).
