Lot Essay

This pair of tables is designed in the George IV antique fashion promoted by the cabinet-maker George Bullock (d. 1818) and his apprentice, Richard Hicks Bridgens (1785-1846). Bullock and his brother, William, were proprietors of Piccadilly's 'Egyptian Hall', from 1812, collaborating on such projects as Sir Henry Godfrey Vassal Webster's historic 'Hastings' Hall at Battle Abbey, Sussex, whose 'Fashionable Chairs' featured in Rudolph Ackermann's Repository of Arts, 1817. The design of turned baluster stretcher with paterae on these two tables conform to the chair intended by Bullock for a suite of rooms at Battle Abbey in the Gothic style.
