The pier table is designed in the George II Palladian style invented by Richard, 3rd Earl of Burlington and the architect William Kent (d. 1748) in the 1720's. The cherubim scrolled herms related to Kent's stands with boy's heads supplied by John Boson (d. 1743) for Lady Burlington's apartment at Chiswick Villa, Middlesex in 1735 (see The Dictionary of English Furniture Makers, Leeds, 1986, p. 88). The cornucopiae-enriched frieze derives from a sideboard-table designed for Houghton Hall, Norfolk and illustrated in John Vardy's, Some Designs of Mr Inigo Jones and Mr William Kent, 1744, pl. 41
