Lot Essay

The Grecian tea-table, with hinged 'China' lacquer tray-top railed by an ormolu ribbon-guilloche, is designed in the French antique fashion, and, with its reeded pillar raised on a bacchic 'altar' tripod with palm-wreathed lion paws, it relates to patterns for 'Work Tables, Screens & Candelabri' in George Smith's, Collection of Designs for Household Furniture, 1808 (pl. 111). It may have been amongst the Regency furniture brought to Fulbeck from Well Vale, Lincolnshire.
