Lot Description Price Image
*** An Exquisite Anton Seuffert Parquetry Floral Pattern Card Table. This table represents one of the more complex and free flowing of the Seuffert 'standard patterns', the Fern and Clematis design, similar to a table presented to Countess Aberdeen in 1887, this top is likely to comprise 5,824 pieces of timber, each one laid with such precision that the pattern flows effortlessly. The practice of inlaying marquetry into detailed parquetry background patterns is an endearing feature of this top.… ***

*** A New Zealand Timbers Card Table by Anton Seuffert This card table from Anton Seuffert's workshop is a fine example of the type by NZ's premier colonial cabinetmaker.

*** A Beautiful Arts and Crafts Period Card Table by William Seuffert (1858-1943). This table is a unique piece and appears to be one of William Seuffert's later creations. It incorporates patterns used in earlier work by both William and his father, Anton. The simplification of the overall table design and squaring of the circular edging indicate a conscious development towards the modernisation of the table genre.… ***

*** A Superb Anton Seuffert Card Table of Nz Native Timber with original label underneath. The base was probably added in England as most of the tops were manufactured here and sent to England without a base to save on shipping costs.

Fifteen years later inflation raised the price to 11 pounds.… ***
