English period of George III, around 1760.

The well-chosen, serpentine-shaped solid mahogany top, over an unusually large central drawer with posterior brass handles, above a sculpted egg and a dart-shaped apron, are also rarely seen as the sides and the serpentine design frieze.

Beveled legs molded with square cut with egg and dart molding in accordance with the edges, with foliated spandrels in each corner. Very good rich color, with elegant proportions, offered in excellent waxed condition. Quite possibly by the famous manufacturers of Yorkshire Wright and Elwick. The combination of the generic design influenced by Chippendale, the different legs molded by egg and dart and the foliated spandrels seem to be a signature of his known works. Along with the superior quality of wood and construction, everyone points to Wright and Elwick being the manufacturers of this fine table. Richard Wright and Edward Elwick, whose prolific partnership lasted from 1747 to 1771, where both signed the first edition of the director of chippendales from 1754. They were honored to serve most of Nobility & Gentry in the West and the North. Certainly, the records indicate that they were sponsored by distinguished clients such as Sir Rowland Winn at Nostell Priory, the Duke of Norfolk at Worksop Manor, Viscount Irwin at Temple Newsam House, John Spencer at Cannon Hall and, most notably, the Marquis of Rockingham in Wentworth.
