The mirrored china-cabinet is incorporated in a marble-topped pier-table, whose plinth-supported and acanthus-wrapped 'console' trusses and laurel-wreathed enrichments portray the early 19th Century 'antique' manner; while its brass-inlay recalls the fashionable 'Louis Quatorze' drawing-room style. Its 'arabesque' acanthus-scrolled frieze is executed in the late 17th Century style associated with the ébéniste A.C. Boulle (d. 1732), and is typical of the work of the specialist London inlayers such as Louis Le Gaigneur, whose Queen Street workshop was established in 1814-15.
