The Gothic forms of this sturdy chamfer-legged table can be related to the patterns for bedroom and library furniture executed in 'light oak' in the 16th Century manner and illustrated in R. Ackermann's Repository of Arts in the late 1820s (see P. Agius, Ackermann's Regency Furniture and Interiors, London, 1984, pls. 169 and 173). A Tudor example of a small hinge-topped table was illustrated in H. Shaw, Specimens of Ancient Furniture, 1836 (pl. XIX).
