An unusual George III satinwood side table

Offered by: Wick Antiques LTD

Description
An unusual George III satinwood side table, the demi lune top crossbanded with mahogany, the frieze inlaid with satinwood ovals, two with the original silvered brass handles and concealing drawers, all raised on four square tapering legs on spade feet, joined by a shaped stretcher or undertier with penwork and engraved decoration. Stamped on the base with an ‘R’ belowan earl’s coronet. English, circa 1790.

Provenance

Most probably the Earls of Radnor, Radnor House, Coleshill or Longford Castle

It is highly likely that the ‘R’ and coronet cipher records previous ownership of this piece by the Earls of Radnor, based at Radnor House in London and Coleshill and Longford Castle in the provinces. Designs for hunting coat buttons made by the firm of Firmin and Sons on the Strand record the monograms and abbreviations of their patrons. One of these buttons shows an earl’s coronet above a capital R and is annotated ‘Earl of Radnor’. Additionally, a bookbinding for one of the ladies of the family in the University of Toronto utilises a similar monogram.
