A pair of George III rosewood, mahogany and speciman marquetry folding card tables, circa 1790, in the manner of Mayhew & Ince, each top centred by a honeysuckle motif within a repeated circle penwork border, marquetry panles of wrythen acanthus and bellflowers to each side, each frieze decorated with conforming scrolling acanthis and patera marquetry, each square tapering leg cornered by stringing and surmounted by patra motifs, each 76cm high, 92cm wide, 47.5cm deep Provenance: Private Collection of the Bagshawe family, formerly of Ford Hall and Snitterton Hall, Derbyshire, see page 97. The distinctive marquetry of this pair of tables relates to various designs for furniture and furnishings by Robert Adam The use of the larger scale honeysuckle motif alongside bold neoclassical decoration is echoed in elements of Adam’s cabinet design for the Duchess of Manchester (See Geoffrey Beard, The Work of Robert Adam Bloomsbury Books, 1978, pl.163). The cabinet was made by Mayhew & Ince. Elements of Robert Adam’s designs for various decorative schemes to include fire screens & ceilings for Osterley Park and others are also echoed by elements of the current tables. The connection between Robert Adam and Mayhew & Ince is also interesting in terms of these tables as it might be suggested that the tables relate closely to the firm’s own style and approach to marquetry in particular. For a pair of tables attributed to Mayhew & Ince, see Christies London, The English Collector, 22 May 2014, Lot 1012 This pair of tables may also be related to the furniture produced by William and John Linnell See Helena Hayward and Pat Kirkham, William and John Linnell Rizzoli, 1980, page 149. fig 291 for a Pembroke table demonstrating similar use of a honeysuckle motif alongside other similar elements to include the rectangular form and square tapering legs. Many of the tables in particular that are positively attributed to John Linnell commonly adopt these elements attributes alongside a repeated marquetry design to the frieze.
