The floral marquetry relates to the fashion popularised in England in the 1750s by Pierre Langlois, cabinet-maker of Tottenham Court Road, London.
The underside of the lower drawer on this table is blackened, which is one of the characteristics found on furniture made by Langlois, such as the Dundas Commodes, sold by the Marquess of Zetland, in these Rooms, 3 July 1997, lot 102.
