A Very Fine and Substantial Center Table In the Louis XVIth Manner of Holland & Sons
It is of exceptional quality, utilizing beautifully grained woods, including Circassian walnut, thuya, purple heart and boxwood in the construction, and adorned with very finely cast, planished and gilded ormolu mounts. It rises on four tapering turned and inlaid porcelain caster shod legs, conjoined by a shaped and stepped ‘X’ form stretcher, with a central vase stand, inlaid with a circular patera. The symmetrical shaped serpentine cross banded and inlaid top is richly dressed with ormolu running pearl banding and to the edges, a stylized ormolu gadroon. The apron houses two drawers, lined with quadrant moldings. Circa 1850
Provenance; Whitbourne Hall, Worcester Family tradition believes the table was supplied by the London decorators, Cowtan & Company, who were absorbed into Colefax & Fowler in the 1970s.
