A George IV rosewood and brass marquetry bowfront console table, attributable to George Oakley, the shaped back rail inlaid with a central stylised palmette flanked by scrolling leaves above a central oval panel depicting the Judgement of Paris, below a lambrequin flanked by berainesque style marquetry within a band of oak leaves and acorns above a lattice and pendant inlaid frieze and a pair of frieze drawers flanked by paterae, on downswept legs with hairy paw feet and a concave platform stretcher, with indistinct paper label to reverse W.N.Had..., W.4ft 2in. H.3ft 6.5in. D.1ft 10in.
The marquetry pattern to the back-rail is identical to that on a pair of rosewood, brass inlaid and parcel gilt side cabinets sold at Christie`s London, 19 September 2002, lot 187. An identical oak leaf and acorn border appears on a pair of calamander, ebony and brass marquetry side cabinets in the manner of George Oakley sold at Phillips, London, 24 April 2001, lot 95. The brass pattern to the edge of the top on the above lot appears, without the drop pendants, on a rosewood and brass inlaid sofa table, with a pair of card tables en-suite, from Noseley Hall, Leicestershire, and sold Sotheby`s London, 28 and 29 September 1998. The suite, thought to be by Oakley was probably commissioned by Sir Arthur Grey Hazlerigg, 11th Bt. The stylised roundels that are employed on the above lot appear on a chiffonier in the manner of George Oakley sold at Christie`s New York, 23 October 2002, lot 17 and on another identical model sold Christie`s New York, 19 October 2000, lot 245.
