CHINESE EXPORT CARVED HARDWOOD CONSOLE TABLE WITH MARBLE TOP33 x 37 1/2 x 22 in.
Literature: A virtually identical console table is illustrated in Carl L. Crossman, The Decorative Arts of The China Trade , 1991, pg. 261, plate 144. He states, 'Pier table in the Empire/Victorian style, ornately carved rosewood with marble inset top, circa 1840s. Brought to America by Captain Robert Forbes in 1849, the table might have been made for use in his residence in China before that date'. It is currently in The Collection of the Robert Bennet Forbes House, Milton, Massachusetts. Captain Robert Bennet Forbes (1804-1889) and his brother John Murray Forbes (1813-1898) were both actively involved in the China trade. The brothers built the house in Milton, MA which now houses a fine collection from their travels, predominately Chinese decorative and fine arts from the 19th century which they purchased in Canton.

- FINE PAIR OF GEORGE III PAINTED AND
FINE PAIR OF GEORGE III PAINTED AND PARCEL-GILT ROSEWOOD AND SATINWOOD CONSOLE TABLES, ATTRIBUTED TO THOMAS SHERATON33 1/2 x 42 x 16 1/2 in.
Note: These consoles are similar to a design by Thomas Sheraton: 'As pier tables are merely for ornament under a glass, they are generally made very light and the style of finishing them is rich and elegant. Sometimes the tops are solid marble, but most commonly veneered in rich satin, or other valuable wood, with a cross-band on the outside, a border about two inches richly japanned, and a narrow cross-band beyond it to go all round...stretching-rails have of late been introduced to these tables, and it must be owned that it is with good effect...as they take off the long appearance of the legs...' (see Sheraton, Thomas, 'The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing Book', published 1794, Appendix, 'Pier Tables', pages 8 and 9, Plate IV). Sheraton (1751-1806) moved to London around 1790 where he lived for a while at No 41 Davies Street and worked in Wardour Street. His books, published for subscribers in 42 bi-weekly instalments over the years between 1791 and 1794, were extremely influential in shaping the style for Neo-Classical furniture of the time. As a teacher of drawing and architecture he stressed the importance of perspective. He later was ordained as a Baptist minister and left only one known signed piece of furniture, dying in poverty.
