The husk-tipped fan inlaid top, beaded details and alternating anthemion and palmette design are characteristic of the work of William Moore of Dublin. Moore established his business in Dublin in 1782 after working for a considerable period for Mayhew and Ince, the premier cabinetmaking firm in London that also specialized in finely drawn neoclassical inlay. An advertisement placed by Moore in the Dublin Evening Post of May 1782 states '...as the greatest demand is for Pier-Tables, he has just finished in the newest taste a great variety of patterns, sizes and prices, from three guineas to twenty...' (G.Beard and C.Gilbert, eds., Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840, 1986, p.622).
A pair of tables with identically inlaid friezes was sold by Sotheby's London, 25 February 1994, lot 110. A related console table attributed to Moore was sold by Christie's London, 16 November 1989, lot 126.
