Robert Russell-A Rare Tunbridgeware rosewood and marquetry tripod wine table the top with stylised leaf banding, the hexagonal stem with alternating stylised coral marquetry faces and on three down turned splayed legs, 45cm (1ft 5¾in) diameter, 74cm (2ft 5in) high.* The Tunbridgeware manufacturer Robert Russell was born in Tunbridge Wells in 1812. At first he probably produced Tundridge ware pieces with conventional tesserae mosaic and perspective cube work. At the Great Exhibition of 1851, he exhibited a Tunbridge ware marqueterie inlay lady’s work box fitted with a till. This distinctive style of marquetry can be seen on the border and the supporting column of this wine table. Rather aptly, Russell advertised his work as Tunbridge Wells marquetry.....analogous to the Tunbridge ware, but of a superior character. His technique involved cutting lobe shaped sections of contrasting wood veneers to form a central block, or in the case of this table, to form chains for border decoration, sometimes in combination with conventional mosaic bandings and blocks. In 1863, he included among his clients the Duchess of Kent, Baroness de Spith, Lady Ann Marie Dawson, Lady Mary Rose, Lady Franklin, Lady Cornwallis and Lady Harding. In 1871 his work force consisted of his daughter and unusually four women. Production seems to have continued until his death in 1873. see Brian Austen, Tunbridgeware and Related European Decorative Woodwares, Foulsham 2001, Third Extended edition, page 155-156, for the source of this information.
