A rare 19th Century coromandel Davenport by Edwards & Roberts of London. Featuring beautiful dark coromandel veneers to each side highlighted with brass beading and turned and fluted gilt decorated ebonised columns. The top with a brass gallery and red faux leather inset writing slope opening to reveal a satinwood lined interior with two drawers above three smaller faux drawers and a hinged pen drawer to the side. Unusually, both sides open with one door concealing four graduated mahogany drawers with turned inset knob handles, and the other a cupboard or bookcase with a single shelf. On a platform base with concealed castors below. With brass keyhole liners, original locks and working keys, the lock to the slope marked ‘HY ‘. Stamped Edwards & Roberts. Some rippling to the veneers around the edge of the flap, shrinkage to the left hand door veneer and door surrounds, losses to the plinth have been filled. The use of variegated ebony , such as coromandel, calamander and macassar became popular in English antique furniture during the Regency period.

Edwards & Roberts were acclaimed English cabinetmakers founded in London in 1845 and who specialised in marquetry, inlay and ormolu making reproductions of earlier styles such as their Thomas Hope ebony & brass inlaid mahogany chair in the collection of the V&A Museum. They were able to produce superb quality English furniture using some of the finest quality timbers and became one of the leading cabinet makers during the Victorian period.  As well as making and selling their own antique furniture, they also retailed, restored and adapted antique furniture. The company ceased trading in 1899.
