Pembroke table attributed to Ince and Mayhew

An exceptionally fine quality late 18th century marquetry Pembroke table in the manner of Ince and Mayhew. Constructed in Ameranth, Partridge Wood and Satinwood, this remarkable table exhibits the highest order of cabinet-making skills and incorporates serveral distinctive features favoured by the prominent firm of Ince and Mayhew. Perhaps most obviously the inlaid fluting to the legs, where the solid Ameranth (oherwise known as Purpleheart) has been fluted and then re-inlaid with shaded satinwood to emphasise the fluted form. Further features are the harebell flowers and the design of the paterae. Notice also the fineness of the legs, especially just above the castors where the diameter reduces to almost nothing.
Width with flaps down 22 inches. Flaps up 39.5 inches
