The table is richly jewelled and mosaic-trellised in the George IV Elizabethan fashion invented in the 1820s by the sculptor-trained architect Richard Bridgens (d. 1846), while working at Aston Hall, Birmingham. Its pattern was published in Bridgens' Furniture with Candelabra, 1838 (pl.38). An almost identical table, also corresponding to the published pattern is illustrated in C. Wainwright et al, George Bullock, London, 1988, fig. 5, now in the V & A Museum.
