The writing-table is designed in the early 19th century 'antique' style and its 'poetic' Grecian lyre trestle-ends featured in a 'Work Table' pattern published by Thomas Sheraton in his Cabinet Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing Book, 1793, app., pl. XXVI. They also appear on writing-tables supplied in 1802 by Thomas Chippendale Junior (d. 1822) for Stourhead, Wiltshire (see: M. Jourdain, Regency Furniture, London, 1965, fig. 132). The table's ormolu enrichments and brass ribbon-inlay reflect the fashionable French manner, and its lozenged tablets, enriched with palmettes, relate to the mounts on Messrs. Marsh and Tatham's bookcases supplied for George, Prince of Wales's Carlton House palace in 1806 (see: F. Collard, Regency Furniture, Woodbridge, 1987, p. 54)
