A matched pair of original walnut occasional tables stamped and numbered by JAMES SHOOLBRED & Co. circa 1890.

These two tables are a great example of one of James Shoolbred's designs of occasional tables and as originals are quite rare and hard to come across. 

Both tables are the same height and have square walnut tops with nicely matching moulded edges, each table has four tapered splayed legs which are finely pierced. 

These tables have a very useful lower tiers, which one could use for books or magazines, with all four sides of each table having matching open gothic style fret work gallery.  

James Shoolbred & Co were established in the 1820's at 155 Tottenham Court Rd, London, W1. They became famous for designing, manufacturing and selling high quality furniture. In the 1880's Shoolbred had opened London's first large department store as suppliers of furniture at Tottenham House, on Tottenham Court Road. 

Shoolbred's was granted a Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria in 1885 as supplier's to the royal household and as testament to the excellent design of aesthetic furniture and other high quality pieces. 

Please note that one table has an impressed stamp mark of J.A.S. Shoolbred & Co and is numbered 7 6 4 7, plus has an original makers plaque of James Shoolbred & Co. As per photo and the second table has an impressed stamp mark with the number 2 9 8 4 and the impressed makers name J.A.S. Shoolbred & Co but no plaque.

The only real difference between these two tables is that the impressed numbers do not match.

Photos to come of second table.
