EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of furniture from the 19th century: a ladies work table crafted in intricately carved wood and accompanied by a fabric bag. The exquisite design and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this table, which also doubles as a backgammon board. Work tables like these were essential for women, providing them with a dedicated space to engage in needlework and various arts and crafts activities. The handcoloured copperplate engraving, taken from George Smith's renowned publication "The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterers Guide" offers us a glimpse into the world of interior design during the Georgian era. George Smith himself was an esteemed upholsterer and furniture draughtsman to his Majesty, Prince of Wales (later King George IV). This image not only captures the beauty of this particular work table but also represents an era when craftsmanship flourished alongside leisurely pursuits. It symbolizes femininity, creativity, and elegance while reminding us of the importance placed on hobbies as sources of amusement during that time. Whether used for practical purposes or simply admired for its aesthetic appeal, this ladies work table stands as both functional furniture piece and decorative art object—a testament to the skillful hands that brought it into existence over two centuries ago.
