                                        An Unusual Marquetry Top Table
Attributed to Jackson & Graham
Likely Designed by Bruce James Talbert (1838-1881)
The circular top inlaid with a plethora of specimen woods and bone, consisting of an amboyna quadrangle ground set with geometric patterns of circles, triangles, and a diamond at the centre set with a geometric flower; the outer reserves on an ebony ground and set with further stylised foliate motifs; standing on its original mahogany fluted tripod base.
English, circa 1870
It is worth comparing this table to the designs produced by Bruce James Talbert for the London cabinetmaker Jackson & Graham. Notably, a cabinet today in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston by Jackson & Graham (acc. No. 1997.188) includes nearly identical inlaid motifs.
