This centre table or tea-table, with its bacchic panther feet, splayed eagle amongst ribbon-scrolls festooned with flowered-garlands and sides displaying the nature goddess's scallop-shell, is designed in the George II 'antique' manner. It shares features in common with a bureau-cabinet at Glin Castle, illustrated in the Knight of Glin, 'Irish Furniture', Irish Heritage Series, no.16, 1980, fig. 32. The differential of 3in. between the Griffiths catalogue width and the present measurement (39in.) is explained by the difference between the width of the top and the width of the cabrioles
