Lot 99
A Regency mahogany, ebonised and brass marquetry sofa table The rectangular hinged top with canted corners and reeded edge above one short freize drawer and one simulated drawer to each side, on reeded 'X' form legs joined by a ring turned stretcher on hairy paw feet, 163cm wide, 65cm deep, 72cm high. The earliest published designs for furniture in the Regency style are in Thomas Sheraton's Cabinet Dictionary of 1803. The design for this sofa table can be compared to plate 62 in the Dictionary for 'A new design for a Pembroke table’. The inspiration of the ‘antique’ style can be seen in the work of major designers of the period and in the published works such as Thomas Hope’s, Household Furniture and Interior Decoration (1807) and George Smith’s Collection of Designs for Household Furniture and Interior Decoration (1808). The use of the X-frame support in the ‘antique’ manner can been seen on the Regency rosewood writing table supplied to Southill, Bedfordshire and attributed to Marsh and Tatham, illustrated in Southill, A Regency House, pl.42 London, 1951, pl.46. The influential designs of Charles Heathcote Tatham, which are encapsulated in his 1806 work Etchings representing Fragments of Grecian and Roman Architectural Ornaments is evident in the architect Henry Holland’s work at Southill where Holland was known to have worked with C.H Tatham’s brother Thomas and his partner William Marsh. The X-frame support was also extensively employed by Thomas Hope on the tabouret in the Indian Room at Duchess Street and on the chairs in The Flaxman Room at Duchess Street, both appearing in engravings in Hope’s 1807 publication.
