The table typifies the ingenious and space-saving furniture produced by Morgan and Sanders of Catherine Street, Strand. In a broadsheet advertisement of c.1810, the inventors referred to their 'Imperial Dining Tables...to dine from 4 to 20 persons...the whole Table shuts up into the space of a Large Pembroke Table'. A similar smaller table with the same hinged mechanism is illustrated in C. Gilbert, The Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture, 1700-1840, Leeds, 1996, p. 345, fig. 666.
