The sideboard-table stands for displaying silver-plate are designed in the French Grecian fashion adopted by the architect William Atkinson (d. 1839) and cabinet-maker George Bullock (d. 1818 ). Their patera-enriched pilasters are raised on compass-fronted plinths, that are sunk with tablets of ancient mottled oak. Such oak was prized by antiquarians such as Sir Walter Scott (d. 1832), and by Bullock, following his acquisition of some fine oaks from the mediaeval baronial estate at Drumlanrig, Scotland. The latter may have served for furniture supplied around 1819 for Sir Walter Scott's dining-room at Abbotsford, which was furnished in oak under Atkinson's direction by Messrs George Bullock and Company. Scott's Reliquiae Trottcosienses described his 'beautiful dining-table of Scottish oak ... clouded in the most beautiful style' (A. Coleridge, 'The work of George Bullock, cabinet-maker, in Scotland: 2', Connoisseur, May 1965, pp. 16-17).
