This table appears to derive from the celebrated 'Tomb of Agrippa' sarcophagus with its bacchic panther feet and plinth, as combined with a scroll-ended Roman altar table in the architect Charles Percier's design in his Receuil de Décorations Intérieures, 1802, pl. XV. On this table the usual paw feet are replaced by fruit festoons.
A related table that had formerly been in the collection of Wilfred Evill, Esq., was sold in these Rooms, 8 July 1993, lot 36.
