Mersham Manor Antiques has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
A superb quality early Victorian walnut writing table, constructed by the renowned cabinet makers C. Hindley & Sons. (Late Miles & Edwards)
Henry Miles and John Edwards were based at 134 Oxford St. London from 1822 till 1844 and appeared in directories in 1823 and 1835-39. The firm had many prestigious patrons including the Empress of Russia. In 1844 Miles and Edwards were taken over by Charles Hindley and Sons. Several account books, journals, stock lists and letter books of Miles & Edwards survive, dating 1825-44. Both companies are listed in the Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840 by the Furniture History Society.
