The offered tripod table is refered to by Herbert Cescinsky in his aforementioned volumes on eighteenth century English furniture as being 'a fine example of this type (galleried) of tripod-table, the fretted top being pierced on each side with finger holes, either to carry the entire table, or to allow of the top being detached and used as a separate tray.'
