Newton was a highly regarded producer of George III furniture, and Boulton – a successful industrialist – was his only non-aristocratic client. The writing table is typical of Newton’s outstanding craftsmanship, featuring intricate veneers and rosewood cross-banding. While the accompany mirror cannot be attributed to a particular maker, its neoclassical design and excellent condition make it a perfect fit for Soho House.
