Lot Essay

This dining-table relates to others by the cabinet maker Thomas Butler of Catherine Street, London. In the early 19th century Butler became known for manufacturing a variety of patent furniture which could be easily adapted for travelling and exportation. His output included a dining-table with detachable legs, similar to the present lot. Related tables, some bearing Butler's engraved brass plaque, are illustrated in C. Gilbert, Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture 1700-1840, Leeds, 1996, pp. 128 - 130, pl. 173 - 178).
