Expertise: John Linnell (1729-96) was a principle competitor to Thomas Chippendale (1718-1779). Next to Chippendale, Linnell was used by Robert Adam for many of his better commissions including Osterley and Kedleston Parks. At some point in the mid-1760's, Linnell forged a relationship with the Swedish cabinetmakers, Christopher Furlohg and Georg Haupt and Linnell's workshops started to produce high quality marquetry furniture such as that found on these tables.
