While the table's claw terminates in pad feet in the George II manner, its robustly-turned pillar relates to the early Victorian style illustrated in William Smee and Son's Designs for Furniture, 1850. The table is likely to have formed part of the furnishings introduced to Buckingham Palace at the beginning of Queen Victoria's reign. It bears the Palace's 1866 inventory brand drawn up by Messrs. Holland and Sons, as well as a George V inventory label.
