A GEORGE III MAHOGANY CONCERTINA ACTION FOLDING CARD TABLEIN THE MANNER OF PAUL SAUNDERS, CIRCA 1765 73.5cm high, 92cm wide, 46cm deep (when closed) Paul Saunders (1722-1771) was recorded in 1761 as 'Cabinet maker, Upholder & Tapestry Worker at the corner of Charlotte and Streatham streets, Bloomsbury'. Throughout his career, Paul Saunders had important clientele, perhaps from his early contacts made in William Bradshaw's workshops, with identifiable commissions to Petworth, Holkham and Uppark.Saunders' cabinet making work has been somewhat overlooked in favour of his tapestry making, he was Tapestry Maker to HM the King from 1757 and his Soho workshop was known as the 'The Royal Tapestry Workshop'.The design of this table shows the influence of the French taste on English furniture in the mid-18th century, the marked curvature of the legs, and the carving to the knee. Saunders, and his then business partner Bradshaw were both subscribers to Thomas Chippendale's The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, 1754, which first popularised the French style.

A REGENCY CALAMANDER, BRASS MARQUETRY AND GILT BRONZE MOUNTED SIDE CABINET ATTRIBUTED TO GEORGE OAKLEY, CIRCA 1815 146cm high, 160cm wide, 46cm deep This fine side cabinet is of the highest quality, its geometric brass ornament and exotic calamander veneers relates to the work of George Oakley (d.1841), who produced furniture in the Grecian style for the Prince Regent among other distinguished patrons during his long career which lasted from 1789 to 1819. The firm was granted a royal warrant in 1799 after receiving a visit from Queen Charlotte and other members of the royal family upon which '...her MAJESTY, the Duke and Duchess of YORK, and the PRINCESSES, &c., highly approved of the splendid variety which has justly attracted the notice of the fashionable world' (Morning Chronicle, May 1799). The design closely relates to a suite of furniture probably supplied by Oakley for Sir Arthur Grey Hazlerigg, 11th Baronet, upon his succession in 1817, at which time he refurbished his estate Noseley Hall in Leicestershire employing many fashionable suppliers of the day (see Noseley Hall, Sotheby's house sale, 28-29 September 1998, lots 146 and 147). Another well-known commission supplied to Charles Madryll Cheere for Papworth Hall includes a variety of furniture forms executed in calamander with stylized star brass-inlaid borders (a card table from this commission is illustrated in R. Edwards, ed., The Dictionary of English Furniture, rev. edn., vol.III, 1954, p. 202, fig.42).

Occasional tables with drop leaves are said to have been dubbed 'Pembroke' tables after the architect and courtier, Henry Herbert, the 9th Earl of Pembroke. Earlier examples in the popular taste of the earlier eighteenth century tended to have squarer flaps, but by the 1770s Robert Gillow was advising his customers that an oval shape was the height of fashion. The square legs terminating in castors and rich golden satinwood are characteristic of his work, as are certain elements of ornament: Gillows wrote to a customer in 1780 that "plain satin wood card tables [...] will not look well unless they have some banding & stringing of other sorts of wood to set 'em off".There is a comparable example very similar to the present lot at Tatton Park in Cheshire (inventory number NT 1297246), one of the most splendid surviving Gillows interiors.Please note, the measurements for this lot have been revised. The depth of each table overall is 90.5cm and the width of each table (unextended) is 53.5cm, and not as printed in the catalogue.Condition Report: Marks, scratches and abrasions comensurate with age and usePleasing original colour and patina with original surface. Some old chips and splits as expected for age. Some additional dark marks and scratches to the tops as expected for age.Handles and locks all appear original. Keys are present to operate locks.
