The herm-legged table is embellished in the George III Roman or antique manner, with a medallion and tablets of marble-figured veneer framed in an Etruscan-black border. Another table of this pattern, also fitted with a paterae-escutcheoned handle, was sold anonymously (from the Collection of Arthur A. Leidersdorf), Sotheby's London, June 1974, lot 152.
This combination of black-framed yew featured on furniture supplied to the 2nd Viscount Palmerston at Broadlands, Hampshire by Mayhew and Ince of Golden Square, (The Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840, Leeds, 1986, p. 596 and H. Roberts, 'Towards an English Louis Seize: Furniture at Broadlands, Hampshire II', Country Life, 5 February 1981, pp. 346-347, fig. 1). (See also lot 85).
