Lot Essay

This 'sideboard table' typifies the elegant French/antique fashion promoted in London's West End by George, Prince of Wales, later King George IV at Carlton House, in collaboration with his architect Henry Holland (d.1806) and the Piccadilly marchand-mercier Dominique Daguerre (d.1796). Its 'Grand Tour' Roman marble slab was intended to be dressed with plate etc., as a 'Roman' marble 'buffet' or 'altar'.
