Note: In 1790, William Wilkinson inherited his father's practice, Wilkinson & Sons, and in partnership with his cousin, Thomas, the firm moved to a new premises at 9 and 10 Broker's Row, London, changing its name to W. & T., Cabinet-Makers. The business, which specialized in extending dining tables, thrived and in 1807 they were advertising tables covered by 'the King's patent...absolutely original in their construction'. One of these patents comprised tables extended on the 'lazy tongs' principle, patent no. 523. The firm claimed to be the sole seller of such tables which were available from their manufacturing and warerooms. However, while they may have been the first to successfully market such tables it is likely their patent was preceded by the cabinet-maker Richard Brown, who two years earlier in November 1805 had registered an extension table based on the concertina or 'lazy tong' principle.
