This pair of silvered tables, conceived as cabinet stands, fall into a group of Dutch carved and painted wood tables, cabinet stands and hall benchs referred to as 'Kwabtafels'. Kwab refers to the auricular style of ornament adopted by Dutch Silversmiths such as Johannes Lutma (1587-1669) and Adam van Vianen (1568-1627) at the beginning of the 17th century. Auricular motifs in furniture designs were first published in the series Boutiqve Menvserie by Crispijn van de Passe II (c.1597-1670) in Utrecht in 1621, but the auricular style is not considered to have reached its height until 1655 when Gerbrandt van den Eeckhout (1621-1674) published his series of model prints titled Verscheydene Aerdige Compartementen en Tafels in Amsterdam. A number of similar tables in were sold from the Schermerhorn Collection, Christie's, Amsterdam, 29 September 1999, lots 508, 520 and 550.
