Lot Essay

The table's palm-enriched lion monopodiae relate to those of a library-table pattern engraved in 1804 for George Smith's Collection of Designs for Household Furniture, 1808, pl. 87. However the form of the mirrored-table and its frieze enrichments corresponds to the connoisseur Thomas Hope's table illustrated in his Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, London, 1807, (pl. VII).
