About the Item

An Exceptional Quality Mid 19th Century Papier Mache Tray On Stand, Or Coffee Table, The Rectangular Removable Tray With Superb Hand Painted And Gilded Decoration To Black And Green Ground Backgroung, Housed On Later Turned Leg Stand. Stamped “James Shoolbred & Co, Tottenham Court Road”. Dated March 1875. This fantastic quality papier mache tray is one of the nicest we have seen in a long while with quite exceptional decoration and its a great size as well. The stand which it has been mounted upon is of modern construction as is common practice, meaning that the tray now has a purpose and function as well as being particularly beautiful. James Shoolbred formed his company Shoolbred & Co, initially at 153 Tottenham Court Road around 1817. The company quickly grew through various partnerships and by the time of James Snr’s death in 1862 his sons were working in the business wih him and pushing forward their expansion plans. In fact by 1876 they were listed in The Furniture Gazette Directory as operating from four locations across London, including 151 – 158 Tottenham Court Road which covered 1.75 acres alone with a frontage of 250ft. A large amount of the stock which they retailed was manufactured in their own workshops, although naturally when running an operation of this size not all of it could be made in house. Using the diamond registration mark system which was in place in England from 1842 – 1883, we are able to date the manufature of this tray to March 1875. Height 23in. Width 25in. Depth 20in.

19th Century Amboyna Occasional Table
Located in Bedfordshire, GB
A delightful 19th century occasional lamp, or wine table, with well figured amboyna circular top and ormolu moulding raised on three elegant ebonized and inlaid turned supports, terminating with triform plateau and elegant sabre feet. Although victorian in date this table draws on a variety of different stylistic features, from a range of different periods. The use of beautiful amboyna veneers, set against ebonised mouldings is very much a 19th century feature however, the contrast created providing both a boldness and elegance all in one. This little occasional table is constructed from excellent timbers and when taking into account the overall quality of construction as well it is clear that it was produced in one of the top cabinet makers workshops of the time. Surprisingly sturdy for such a small article, which is due to the intelligent triple support design, this is a most practical table indeed, perfect for a wide variety of spots around the home, where one can use it to house a lamp, some photo frames or even a nice glass of wine. It is a great size and should fit elegantly into just about spot desired. Overall the condition is good and as with all items which we offer for sale it has received a natural wax polish by our highly skilled, traditional antique furniture...
