The oak table-top is wreathed with oak inlaid within a Grecian-black ribbon in the French/antique fashion popularised by George Bullock (d. 1818), who opened his Piccadilly 'Grecian Rooms' in 1812 before moving to his 'tasteful repository' in Tenterden Street. Its trestle form, as deived from the tripod 'altar' pillar popularised by Thomas Hope's Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, 1807, relates to that of a suite of brass-inlaid furniture, comprised of 'loo', card and sofa tables, that were supplied in 1820 for Creedy Park, Devon by the Wardour Street cabinet-maker John Wellsman (sold by Sir Anthony Ferguson, Sotheby's London, 7 November 1997, lots 87-90).
