    A pair of George III ormolu mounted satinwood marquetry and giltwood side tables attributed to mayhew and Ince.

    A highly important pair of late 18th century Adam period ormolu mounted satinwood marquetry and giltwood side tables attributed to Mayhew and Ince, possibly to a design by James Wyatt , having serpentine shaped tops with finely chased gadrooned ormolu edge attributed to Diedrich Anderson, accentuated by kingwood crossbanding and having classical marquetry inlay on a satinwood background consisting of a pendant urn with birds each side within a ribbon tied oval husk wreath with draped husk pendants, typical for Mayhew and Ince, flanked by fine floral sprays to each side. The conforming giltwood bases having a stiff leaf carved moulding with pearled edge above frieze applied with guilloche ribbon and staff decoration above a ribbon tied moulded edge; on four square channelled legs with husk decorated fluting and husk corner swags terminating in flowerhead carved blocks with tapering fluted toes.

    Note: The tops pre-date the bases by some twenty years, but have been used for the first time. The bases have been re-gilt. Mayhew and Ince sometimes incorporated older parts in their commissions, such as the well documented commodes at Burghley, in which older marquetry panels were also used.
