About the Item

A very decorative late 18th century painted table, attributable to George Brookshaw. English, circa 1795. Why we like it We love the decorative aspect of this table, with most of the original painted decoration surviving intact. Attribution The original painted decoration of floral garlands on the legs of this table is identical to that on the stands for the cabinets attributed to George Brookshaw, which were supplied to the late 18th century celebrity William Brummel for Donnington Grove between 1783–1794 and sold Bonhams, London, 19 October 2011, lot 157. The swags and paterae decoration of the frieze is identical to a pier table, also attributed to George Brookshaw and formerly owned by William Hesketh Lever, 1st Viscount Leverhulme, subsequently sold Christie's New York, 11 October 2007 ($85,000). A further Brookshaw piece with the same decoration was sold Christie's New York, 24 September 2020, lot 1022. This table is attributed to the acclaimed peintre ébéniste George Brookshaw (1751-1823) and was most likely designed to harmonize with a room's ceiling and mantelpiece. Brookshaw touted this aesthetic in a 1788 advertisement of 'a variety of the most elegant articles; consisting of pier tables, cabinets, commodes, quines [quoins], book-cases, candilabriums, girandoles, glass frames, together with a great variety of new-fashioned chimney-pieces, to correspond with his furniture, which are all made in a style peculiar to himself, in copper and marble, and painted and burnt-in, in a manner which gives them peculiar elegance.' (L. Wood, 'George Brookshaw "Peintre Ebeniste par Extraordinaire", The case of the vanishing cabinet-maker: Part 2', Apollo, June 1991, p. 384). Other Brookshaw furniture with related decoration includes a commode that may have been supplied for the Albermarle Street house of John, 3rd Baron Monson (d.1806) (ibid., 1991, fig. 4). Another closely related table was sold anonymously, Christie's, New York, 28 January 1989, lot 110.

A rare 18th century George III period mahogany 'Spider Leg' side table or drop-leaf table, in the manner of ‘The Dumfries House Cabinet-Maker’. English or Scottish, circa 1780. A highly desirable and sought after model. Why we like it We love the elegant simplicity of this table, the unusual thinness of its components, which lend this design a very delicate look. A number of related side tables in mahogany, attributed to ‘The Dumfries House Cabinet-Maker’, possibly Thomas Chippendale, was supplied circa 1760 to Lord Dumfries at Dumfries House, Scotland (illustrated). A further related table, distinguished by the superb quality of construction, is at Fenton House (NT 1448858). Thomas Chippendale supplied ‘Two neat Mahogany Spider leg Tables...
