This richly serpentined stand, introducing gothic elements to the French 'picturesque' style, relates to that of a 'claw table' illustrated in Mayhew and Ince's Universal System of Household Furniture, 1762, pl. XIII. This stand shares the contrasting scrolls and central architectural motif with the design. There is a related stand at Erddig, near Wrexham in Wales, which was supplied in the 1760s to display a large pagoda executed in mother-of-pearl and the recessed top on this stand suggests a similar function (see: M. Waterson, Erddig, London, 1979, p. 104)
