Lot Essay

Designed in the George III 'antique' manner, its elliptical frieze carved with a framed-palmette guilloche, and the garlanded bacchic ram-masks capping the husk-festooned 'herm' legs, derive from a commode-table pattern in the 'Etruscan' style, illustrated by R. & J. Adam, in their, Works in Architecture, 1774.
