William Moore of Dublin (d. 1814) trained under Mayhew & Ince in London where he developed his repertoire of Neoclassical motifs in marquetry.

In 1782 he advertised in the Dublin Evening Post for ”Card Tables of a new construction (both ornamented and plain) which appear like small Pier Tables, with every article in the inlaid way, executed on shortest notice, and hopes from his long experience at Messrs Mayhew and Ince, London, his remarkable fine coloured woods, and elegant finished work to meet the approbation of all who shall please to honour him with their commands”.
