The multi-purpose table, with its Grecian lyre-scrolled trestles and French-fashioned ormolu enrichments, derives from patterns for 'Ladies Work Tables' and 'Pouch Tables' published by Thomas Sheraton in The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing-Book, 1802 (no. 40, pl. 2) and The Cabinet Dictionary, 1803 (pl. 67).
