inspired by Richard Bridgens as published in his 1838 book 'Furniture with Candelabra' plate 16 of a 'Marquetrie Centre Table’ with pedestal base and scrolled feet. This type of table is also associated to Edward Holmes Baldock who was a fashionable London art dealer, furniture maker and restorer of Hanway Street and probably the most distinguished dealer of his day. Edward Holmes Baldock (1777-1845) Born on the 14th May 1777 he established his business in 1805 in Hanway Street which over the years he expanded at this location. He soon was a prominent London furniture dealer to several members of the Royal Family and is responsible for supplying French-fashioned furniture to the 5th Duke of Buccleuch. Edwards Holmes Baldock’s pieces have become a prized possession amongst collectors, museums (V&A included) and dealers alike.
