Antique 19th Century Inlaid & Mahogany Crossbanded Pembroke Table
A rather delightful little early 19th Century English Pembroke table with a fitted end drawer with working lock and key sitting on slender, wonderfully turned legs finished with brass castors. Makers gold badge “ Hewetson, Milner and Thexton Ltd Tottenham Court London” is to the inside of the drawer.
The Hewetson, Milner and Thexton families originated from Ravenstonedale, a village and civil parish in Cumbria in the historic county of Westmoreland on the Scottish borders. Arriving in London over successive generations, they lived in each others' homes, apprenticed each others' children and relations, and mutually contributed to a thriving family-run business.
Such a useful, attractive and decorative piece. When the two leaves are up it's perfect for a lunch or supper table, when leaves are down and it sits snugly against a wall. It's a firm very usable table with a decorative shaped top and crossbanding to its edges and a little inlay to the narrow apron drawer which opens by way of two little brass knobs, we also have a dummy drawer at the opposite end.
As mentioned, the condition is good with of course day to day marks but perfectly usable, presentable and jolly handsome.
A nice period English piece of nice quality.
