The late Wilfred Evill, Esq., sold Sotheby's London, 12 July 1963, lot 93
Wilfrid Evill may have owned this table as one of a pair which became separated. Temple Williams certainly owned a pair and provided a photograph of one to Margaret Jourdain. He seems again to have owned the pair after the Evill sale but he is not recorded as the purchaser at the Sotheby's sale.

The black-figured rosewood top is conceived in the early 19th Century 'Egyptian' manner popularised by the connoisseur Thomas Hope (d.1831). While the heads correspond to those introduced by Thomas Chippendale Junior (d.1822) in his Stourhead library-chairs designed in 1805, their hocked monopodiae derive from the French-style table illustrated by Hope in his Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, 1807, pl. XV, nos. 4 & 5 (see: F. Collard, Regency Furniture, Woodbridge, 1987, p. 217)
