Description

A fine English Chippendale-period silver table. George III.

This is a particularly refined and beautifully-controlled version of a mid-eighteenth century mahogany silver table. Raised on open-fret carved legs and bold block feet, all in the Chinese Chippendale manner.

Well figured, of good rich colour and patina, retaining the original castors. In superb condition throughout.
