Specialist note

This elegant pair of tables displays various Irish characteristics: the shell motif which centers the gracefully shaped frieze and the trifid foot, so often seen in Irish furniture (see The Knight of Glin & J. Peill, Irish Furniture, New Haven & London, 2007). Tables that share these characteristics can be seen at Glin Castle, Co. Limerick and in the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, Boston.
