Designed in the George, Prince of Wales's French 'antique' manner popularised as the Louis Quatorze style by George Smith in his, Cabinet-maker and Upholsterer's Guide, 1826, this compass-fronted card-table, with its brass mounts and arabesque inlay reflects the work of leading 'Buhl' manufacturers such as S. Jamar of Wardour Street and John Mclean of Upper Marylebone Street.
