This table, with central sacred-urn medallion and marquetry in the "English" antique manner, relates to a group of Russian marquetry tables, often of kidney shape and with neo-classical inlay reminiscent of work by contemporary English furniture makers such as John Linnell. Similar examples are illustrated in The Art of Marquetry in Eighteenth Century Russia, Moscow, 1989, figs. 123-129, and another in the Hillwood Museum, Washington D.C. is illustrated in A. Cheneviere, Russian Furniture The Golden Age 1780-1840, fig. 25. Another table of this model was sold Christie's London, 9 December 1993, lot 300.
