This window-pier table of Grecian black-figured calamander wood inlaid with golden fillets, has its baize games-table concealed beneath a hinged top, while its Grecian lyre-scrolled pillars are intended to evoke Apollo and are raised on a Grecian plinth with truss-scrolled claw. The fashionable London cabinet-maker George Oakley (d.1840) designed a similar table in 1810, to accompany a circular Drawing Room loo table at Papworth Hall, Cambridgeshire (sold Christies King Street, 23 November 2006, lot 67).
