A William and Mary oyster-veneered and ivory-inlaid olivewood, walnut

the moulded rectangular marquetry top decorated throughout with neoclassical and geometric motifs, above a long frieze drawer, raised on barley-twist supports united by a similar 'X'-shaped stretcher, terminating in bun feet, Ivory Declaration Submission Reference: 27WF9LET, 116cm wide, 82cm deep, 76cm high, This table shares a number of characteristics with the work of Dutch- or Flemish-born cabinetmaker Gerrit Jensen (1635-1715). Admitted to the Joiners' Company of London in October 1667, Jensen established himself as one of the most prominent cabinetmakers of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. He received commissions from successive monarchs - from Charles II to Queen Anne - and was documented in 1674 as Cabinet-maker in Ordinary to Queen Catherine of Braganza, subsequently receiving royal appointment under William III and Mary II in 1689. He proved integral in importing Continental stylistic influences to English furniture-making. His work seamlessly fused traditional Dutch and Flemish floral marquetry and intricate veneering with French-influenced baroque ornamentation, Boulle-inspired inlay and the use of ebony. His approach to cabinetmaking demonstrated a close affinity with the work of the French royal cabinetmaker Pierre Gole (circa 1620-1685), whose influence is particularly evident in Jensen's construction of decorative surfaces and marquetry. This present table closely resembles side tables produced by Jensen for Ham House, Richmond. Three such tables are in the collection at Ham, with this example bearing a particularly close resemblance to one thought to have been produced circa 1675 (NT 1139923) - constructed from walnut, olivewood and fruitwood, that table shares similar marquetry decoration and is raised on spiral-twist legs united by an 'X'-framed stretcher. Although the Ham example does not incorporate neoclassical figural motifs, a mirror by Jensen, also at Ham, displays such detail, showing that Jensen favoured the inclusion of neoclassical figural motifs alongside typical floral marquetry (NT 1139551). Comparable examples to the present lot, attributed to Jensen, can presently be found offered on the market.
