The library-table, designed in the French Renaissance manner with Solomonic-turned and obelisk-capped legs, has its frieze jewelled with embossed medallions and lozenged tablets in the antiquarian style adopted around 1820 by the architect Richard Bridgens (d. 1846) and popularised by his pattern book, Furniture with candelabra, 1825 (V. Glenn, 'George Bullock, Richard Bridgens and James Watts' Regency Furnishing Schemes', Furniture History, Leeds, 1979, pp. 54-67). There is a design dated 1824 for a table by Richard Bridgens that has the same 'jewelled' decoration on the frieze (V. Glenn, ibid, pl. 101 B).
