A Fine Amboyna and Marquetry Reading Table Attributed to George Blake

This highly unusual piece of furniture incorporates a scrolling quadripartite base with a cartouche-shaped top, supported on a modified baluster-form steam. All the surfaces of the piece are finely veneered in either amboyna or ebony, with panels of exceptional marquetry. The top has a wide border with scrolling floral marquetry on an ebony ground. There is also a central medallion with more floral elements including ivory accents-a signature of the Baldock and Blake productions of this period. The stem has a beautifully-inlaid vase of flowers, utilising stained woods for additional colour. The base with incurved feet is also a typical Baldock and Blake design, utilised on a centre table made by the firms for Louis Philippe of France for example.
