A Victorian amboyna centre table of exhibition quality

A Victorian exhibition quality amboyna centre table, attributed to Holland and Sons,

The oval tilt top set upon a pyramidal base with four bold scrolling legs, decorated with high quality ormolu mounts and inlays of stephanotis rendered in coloured woods and ivory on a satinwood ground within harewood borders.

Provenance: Footnote: This table is attributable to Holland and Sons because of the ivory inlays and use of satinwood with amboyna. Holland and Sons of London were first recorded in 1803 as Taprell and Holland. Under the management of William Holland, a relative of the famous Regency architect Henry Holland, they became cabinetmakers and upholsterers to Queen Victoria; their first commission being Osborne House in 1845. Granted the Royal Warrant in 1846, the company went on to supply Windsor Castle, Balmoral and also the new Houses of Parliament. In 1851 they exhibited at the Great Exhibition and were represented at all the major exhibitions thereafter.
