A pair of small tables with tops of this type and from Ham House, Surrey, are illustrated in C. Claxton Stevens and S. Whittington, English Furniture, The Norman Adams Collection, Woodbridge, 1983, p. 348, pls. 32a and 32b. One of those tables has a simulated marble top centred by a panel of putti but the other is closer to these, including having a central rectangular panel of a single colour. It has been suggested (ibid., p. 337) that the plain rectangular panel was left because something with a rectangular base, perhaps a candelabrum, was intended to stand on it.
