As Carl Crossman explains in his The China Trade, this furniture may have been made to special order, perhaps for a member of the British East India Company posted in China or on Macao, another company outpost. Furniture of this type is a rarity during the earlier part of the 18th century. This is supported by the ledgers of the East India Company which only lists a few dozen pieces per year during the 1720's and 1730's. This likely increased during later years closer to the period when this table was made, and the use of the timber by significant cabinet makers in England circa 1750 to 1770, including Thomas Chippendale, John Channon and Ince and Mayhew amongst others, supports this popularity.For related items of furniture made in padouk or huang huali, see the following:Christie's, The English Collector, 23rd May 2012, Lot 221 (hexagonal drop leaf table)Christie's, The English Collector, 13th November 2014, Lot 40 (pair of card tables £40,000)Christie's, Important English Furniture & Carpets, 23rd November 2006, Lot 102 (tripod table, £21,600)Please note, this lot is possibly incorporates from huang-hauli and should be marked with a CITES symbol.

The English composer John Blow (1649-1708) was organist at Westminster Abbey, a post he generously passed to his pupil Henry Purcell in 1679, until he resumed the role following Purcell’s untimely death in 1695. Blow’s music, alongside that of other English Baroque composers, has undergone a significant revival in recent decades, led particularly in England by Anthony Rooley with the Consort of Musicke, and Peter Holman and the Parley of Instruments. His Amphion Anglicus brings together both sacred and secular songs in a single publication, and is modelled on Purcell’s own collection of 1698, Orpheus Britannicus .

In 1695 he published Essays on Trade and Navigation, in which he argued that England was fleecing Ireland and treating his country oppressively and unfairly, and proposing a council of trades, a national bank, and other reforms. His New Essay's on Trade of 1702 emphatically predicts a decline in trade. He insists upon the necessity of allowing the exportation of wool, England being not able to work up two-thirds of its own, and forced 'either to Burn or Export it'. He recommends manufactures as a means of employing the poor. 'I think him a great Man that employs Twenty Men at his Looms, and Five Hundred Spinners, and wonder we have no more such in Parliament'. Onslaw Burrish was British Envoy to Germany and the Low Countries, and here describes the Dutch state and its fisheries, manufactures, the Dutch East India Company, and overseas trade.

ESTC S107662; Sabin 10999; STC 4676. Especially uncommon complete with the four folding tables. Carpenter's primer for Oxford students contains a cautious discussion of 'a Spanish Chart taken by the Hollanders' showing California as an island; the recent North-West Passage expeditions undertaken by Henry Hudson (1610-11) and Thomas Button (1612-13) are cited as grounds for the author's scepticism. It also contains an early definition of geography as a discipline. 'Unable himself fully to accept the Copernican system, Carpenter presented his readers with a faithful account of it and encouraged them to weigh the evidence for themselves' (ODNB).
