Designed for the Drawing-Room window-piers, this pair of elliptical card-tables, with their mosaic banding, flowered tablets and herm feet with bold trompe l'oeil fluting, as well as their satin-figured veneer typify Messrs. Gillow's furntiure in the antique style. The antique flute relates to furniture manufactured in London around this period and later illustrated by Thomas Hope in his Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, 1807
