A pair of card-tables of this pattern, but with truss supports rather than hollowed pedestal, are likely to have formed part of the furniture introduced to Stratfield Saye, Hampshire around 1820 by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (d.1852) (M. Jourdain, Regency Furniture 1795-1830, London, rev.ed., 1965, p. 72, fig. 158).
