Provenance
The Collection of Benjamin Katz, Dieren, sold;
Paul Brandt, Amsterdam, 17-18-19 March 1964, lot 266.

The offered table has close parallels with English Pembroke tables promoted and manufactured by leading cabinet makers during the second half of the 18th century. Features such as the concave tier stretcher on the table here relate to a 'Breakfast Table' of Pembroke form supplied by Thomas Chippendale for Dumfries House in 1759 (illustrated in Christopher Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, 1978, p. 219, pls. 399 and 400).

The design for this configuration of Pembroke table was first published by Chippendale in his Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, 1754, pl. XXXIII. One of two documented Neo-Classical satinwood Pembroke tables supplied by Mayhew and Ince to Viscount Palmeston, circa 1785 for Broadlands, shares characteristics with the offered lot, typified by the contrasting ebony fluting to the tapered square legs and highly figured veneers (see Hugh Roberts and Charles Cator, Industry and Ingenuity: The Partnership of William Ince and John Mayhew, 2022, p. 400, pl. 435).

Whilst the design here bears testament to the interchange of influences between British and European furniture makers during the 18th century, subtle idiosyncrasies such as the distinctive dental stringing, double blind flutes to the legs, and square cut top indicate the Dutch origin of this lot.
