The table-top's golden veneer with marble-like figure is framed by a gilt husk-festooned and reeded border and inlaid with a ribbon-banded and flowered medallion of Etruscan-black foliage after the Louis Quatorze 'arabesque' style. The style, which was revived during George IV's reign is particularly associated with the court cabinet-maker Nicholas Morel (d.1830).
This table is typical of the style illustrated in George Smith's Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Guide, 1826. Its character relates to a maple-veneered table, which may have been supplied by Morel and Seddon of Great Marlborough Street for Buckingham Palace (see: J. Haynes, Kensington Palace Guide, London, 1985, pp. 28 and 30)
