The use of padouk with partridge wood crossbanding and brass inlay closely relates to that on the slope of a bureau branded 'J Graveley'. The Graveley attributed rectangular tables in plates 80-83 have, in common with this octagonal tripod table; the use of padouk crossbanded with partridge wood, closely related interlaced strapwork in brass; husk and graduated dot brass inlay; the top is centred in brass with a shield shaped cartouche for the engraving of a family crest or coat of arms. The 'partridge wood' referred to in all these descriptions appears to be a contemporary term for a timber that does not have the distinctive grain of what is generally described as partridge wood from the early 19th century onwards.See Victoria & Albert Museum, London, for the related writing table probably by J Graveley, circa 1740-45.Provenance: The Rowse CollectionSee Christie's, London, 5-19 July 2022, lot 55.
