About the Item
Of outstanding quality, an early 19th Century Regency ormolu mounted amboyna and ebony shaped side cabinet on tapering legs
English circa 1810.
Finely decorated with ebony beading and stringing, the raised upper section with a pierced brass gallery surround, above a pair of amboyna veneered and ebony inlaid doors, opening to reveal a fitted shelved interior. Each door having a recessed panelled edge with ebony surround flanked by a pair of bowed doors, pleated fabric lined and brass grilled which again open to a shelved interior.
The lower section having a central ormolu mounted frieze drawer flanked by two bow-shaped drawers each being hinged to the sides, below which are a pair of recessed glazed doors and baize-lined pull-out slide with gilt knob handles above a shaped apron. Either side of the recess are tapering turned columns decoratively inlaid with ebony stringing with a pair of bow doors flanking to each side. The whole standing on finely turned and tapering legs decorated with ebony stringing.
In fine condition, the amboyna veneers having obtained a wonderful colour, supplied with a working key.
This fine cabinet is drawn closely upon the designs of Thomas Sheraton.
Amboyna, the veneer used, is normally only used as an inlay or for decorative panels on furniture due to it being such a rare and expensive exotic timber. The name is derived from Ambon Island in Indonesia, where much of the figured wood is believed to have been initially exported. Amboyna is still among the most expensive and sought-after of all burl woods today.

Regency Amboyna and Brass Inlaid Gilt Bronze Mounted Pier Table
Located in Benington, Herts
An extremely elegant, rare Regency amboyna and brass inlaid gilt bronze mounted pier table. Provenance Part of Sir William Whitfield Collection.
English Regency period, Circa 1815.
The raised back with open shelf, surmounted by a pierced anthemion three quarter brass gallery above a rectangular mirror plate, flanked by gilt bronze pierced foliate scrolled supports, over a finely coloured amboyna and banded top above cut brass inlaid frieze drawer decorated with anthemion and flower head motif.
The dual tapering scroll supports with palmette lappet surmounts and cut brass inlay terminate on gilt bronze claw feet, flanking a later large mirror plate to the rear, raised on a inverted breakfront plinth base edged with gilt bonze beading. Formerly in the collection of Sir William Whitfield.
This elegant Regency pier table is a superb example with its fine quality mounts and distinctive amboyna veneers which are rarely found on furniture of this period.
The condition is excellent, having the most wonderful colour and patination to the finest cuts of amboyna that would have been available, during the early 19th century this veneer was thought to be worth more in its weight than gold.
This table would have almost certainly been especially commissioned, further research maybe undertaken to find a comparative example and insight to a potential maker.
As such pieces in amboyna are far rarer, an example of pier table has yet to be found, but an amboyna sofa table with extremely similar brass inlay and form can be seen in Clifford Musgrave’s book Regency Furniture, published by Faber and Faber in 1961, plate 63.
It is from the Royal Collection and the caption includes ‘made about 1816 for Clarement,’ (Claremont) ‘ Esher, Surrey, home of the Princess Charlotte...

19th Century English Olivewood and Brass Inlaid Cabinet
By Town & Emanuel
Located in London, GB
A William IV cabinet attributed to Town and Emmanuel
Constructed in a strongly grained olivewood and dressed with gold brass inlays and an etched and engraved brass panel; rising from a plinth base, the lockable single door having an inset panel in the manner of Jean Berain, enclosing a shelved interior, and flanked by narrow vertical conforming panels; the apron being dressed with three bronze rosettes, and the Jura Jaune marble is dressed with a three quarter arcaded brass gallery,
circa 1830
The cabinet is illustrated and discussed in Christopher Payne’s “British Furniture 1820 to 1920” published in 2023. Payne singles out the rarity of the olivewood timber used as well as the necessity for hand cutting the large marquetry panel.
