This table supports a tray-edged marble top, in Flemish fashion, and resembles a bedroom-apartment china display-table. With its 'vase' pillars chamfered, herm-tapered and raised on spherical bases and its stretcher-tie raised on Roman truss-scrolled feet, it relates to a dressing-table stand that has been dated between 1700 and 1720 and is displayed at the Red Lodge, Bristol (A. Bowett, English Furniture: 1669-1714, Woodbridge 2002, pl. 9:13).
