Description

Young & (William) Trotter: A George III mahogany side table, c.1801

This table forms part of a documented Trotter commission for Sir Alexander Kinloch (Bt.) of Gilmerton House (pictured)

£580

An excellent quality table comparable with the furniture supplied by Young, Trotter and Hamilton for the apartments of the exiled Comte d'Artois at the Palace of Holyroodhouse a handful of years earlier.

The table is in well-presented condition and structurally sound. The handle is a replacement, and there is some general wear commensurate with age including a faint ring mark to the top and a minor and historic repair to the top of one back leg.

With thanks to the Kinloch family for allowing me to photograph the table in situ.

Reliable transport throughout the UK can be easily arranged at cost price. Please let me know if you would like a quote, or have any other questions.
