79 cm wide, 33 cm Deep, 71 cm High

Employing superb timber, this 'neat' mahogany table is a wonderful example of Chippendale's utilitarian furniture which, through the sheer quality of materials and execution, is at once simple and distinguished. Chippendale supplied, 'a neat Mahogany 8 leg Table of fine wood', on 9 June 1768 at a cost of £2 2s 0d and a further pair of '2 neat Mahogany Spider leg Tables of good wood', probably similar in form to those at Dumfries House from 1760 although not necessarily by Chippendale.
For a related example, see the spider-leg table sold Christie's London, 31 October 2012, lot 79 (£13,750)

18th Century George III Spider Leg Table Circa 1780
By Thomas Chippendale
Located in Richmond, London
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).

George III Pembroke Table attributed to Ince & Mayhew
By Ince & Mayhew
Located in New Orleans, LA
This extraordinary George III-period Pembroke table by London cabinetmakers Ince & Mayhew displays the understated sophistication of the late Georgian era. The surface of the table — including both the central panel and the signature Pembroke hinged flaps — is beautifully detailed with satinwood marquetry, inlaid with a fan medallion and foliate motifs executed with the greatest precision and craftsmanship. The table is set upon slender, tapering legs. The design is indicative of the rising influence of and interest in Neoclassical patterns, favoring motifs from nature or Classical antiquity over the extravagance of the Rococo style.
William Ince and John Mayhew joined their skills as furniture designers and cabinetmakers, opening a firm together on Broad Street in 1759. Over the next forty years, the duo would execute many commissions, and develop a volume of engraved designs entitled The Universal System...
