A Fine Pair Regency Rosewood Card Tables Attributed To George Oakley
A fine pair Regency rosewood card tables attributed to George Oakley, the baize lined, rounded rectangular fold over top with crossbanding and frieze with brass molding on sabre supports joined by a central circular boss which performs a scissor-action spread to stabilise, over down swept serpentine legs with brass star and fleur-de-lis detailing and terminating in cast brass acanthus capped castors, 750mm High, 900mm wide and 440mm deep. English. Circa 1820
The Royal Collection Trust retains a pair of similar card tables in The Music Room at Buckingham Palace, each with swivelling top veneered with rosewood; in part decorated with carved and gilded ornament and inlaid with brass. The closed top inlaid with a scrolled brass line and at each front corner a fleur-de-lys, on serpentine splayed legs joined by a central undertier. This pattern of card-table is associated with the work of the London cabinet-maker George Oakley. They may have been purchased by Queen Mary.
