A Regency partridgewood card table in the manner of George Oakley inlaid with boxwood stringing, the 'D' shaped hinged swivel and fold-over top, crossbanded in calamander on four ring turned baluster columns, on downswept legs and brass caps and castors, 75.7cm high, 91.3cm wide, 44.8cm deep. Provenance: Sir Francis Cook, first Baronet (1817-190) merchant and art collector and by direct descent. His father William Cook (1784-1869) started in business as a retail linen-draper at 7 Great Warner Street, Clerkenwell and moved to 21-3 St. Paul's Churchyard in 1834. The firm of Cook, Son & Gladstones became one of the largest of its kind in the country. The founder William Cook left a fortune of over £2,000,000. The family believe that this table was possibly commissioned from George Oakley who had premises at 35 St. Paul's Churchyard.
