Specialist note

The table's pillar and 'claw' patterns relate to drawings attributed to Thomas Chippendale (d.1772) for tea/breakfast-tables proposed for Harewood House, Yorkshire in the early 1770's (see C.Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, 1978, figs. 464 and 467). The latter featured a bulbous pillar with Pan-reeded vase raised on an antique-fluted pillar; while the former featured a truss-scrolled 'claw' terminating in acanthus-flowered medallions on palm-wrapped plinths concealing the castors.
