Specialist note

The design of this table is taken from plate 14 of Thomas King's The Modern Style of Cabinet Work Exemplified, first published in 1829. Ceylonese examples typically feature a specimen wood top. For a very similar example, also featuring a later marble top, see Amin Jaffer Furniture From British India and Ceylon, V&A publications, 2001, page 372, fig. 181.
