With its mottled 'plum-pudding' mahogany slab top and distinctive elongated 'Palmyrean' oval patera, this serving-table relates to Mayhew and Ince's documented oeuvre. Similar paterae feature on the 'large mahogany sideboard curiously inlaid with different colour'd woods' purchased by Henry Bankes from Mayhew and Ince on 30 August 1786 for £29.18s.3d (now at Kingston Lacy), as well as on the bowfronted corner table supplied to the 4th Duke of Marlborough (d. 1817).
