An early example of an amboyna, yew and crossbanded davenport

Circa 1800, with a sliding galleried top, enclosing three cedar lined drawers and with a stationery drawer to one side, above opposing slides and four graduated mahogany lined drawers, on brass castors, inset with a silver plaque engraved: 'COUNTESS POULETT', 42cm wide x 42cm deep x 85cm high, (16 1/2in wide x 16 1/2in deep x 33in high)

Footnotes

Provenance
The 'Countess Poulett' whose name is engraved upon the silver plaque on the top of the present lot very likely refers to Sophia Pocock (d. 1811), daughter of Admiral Sir George Pocock, who married John Poulett, 4th Earl Poulett and Viscount Hinton, in 1782. Following the marriage the family estates included Hinton House, in Somerset, Poulett Lodge and Orleans House. Evidently the offered davenport was originally housed at one or more of these family residences.

A rosewood davenport of comparable form and proportions to the offered example is illustrated in R. Edwards and P. Macquoid, The Dictionary of English Furniture, Vol II., 2000, New York, fig. 1, p. 202.
