This impressive Center Table is attributed to the celebrated Dublin cabinetmaker James Hicks and Sons of 5 and 6 Lower Pembroke Street, Dublin. Ireland. James Hicks was born in 1886, the son of a chairmaker, Patrick Hicks. The family may have been associated with the Dublin cabinet-making firm of Michael Butler, by tradition living next door in Upper Abbey Street. Butler made some of the finest 18th century revival Irish mahogany furniture and dealt in antique furniture. James Hicks set up his own business in Lower Pembroke Street, in 1894, having worked in Tottenham Court Road, London. He described himself as 'Cabinet Manufacturer, Collector and Restorer of Chippendale, Adam and Sheraton furniture', and included among his clients, several members of the Royal family as well as the aristocracy. Hicks had many important patrons and President Cosgrave in 1928 gave the firm the big commission of fitting out the Dail and Senate in the new Parliament in Leinster House and work was done in the Four Courts. Sets of Chippendale style chairs were ordered for the President's house - Aras an Uachtaráin - and the Irish Embassy in Berlin. Hicks died in 1936.
