THE COMBINATION OF OVERALL DESIGN AND THE DISTINCTIVE FRIEZE DECORATION SUGGESTS THAT THESE TABLES ARE IRISH. THE MONOPODIA LEGS TURNED AT AN ANGLE APPEAR THROUGHOUT THE WORK OF THE DEL VECCHIO FAMILY OF DUBLIN AND NEW YORK (SEE: D.FITZGERALD, 'THE DUBLIN DEL VECCHIOS', ANTIQUES, OCTOBER 1981, PP.910-914 AND CF. IBID., FIG.1 AND A TABLE OFFERED AT CHRISTIE'S LONDON, 5 JULY 1990, LOT 68)
THE FRIEZE DECORATION APPEARS OFTEN ON IRISH TABLES OF SIMILAR AND EARLIER DATE. THERE IS A PAIR OF SIDE TABLES IN THE DRAWING ROOM AT DUNSANY CASTLE, CO. MEATH, WITH THIS DECORATION (SEE: D.GUINNESS AND W.RYAN, IRISH HOUSES AND CASTLES, LONDON, 1971, P.84). IT APPEARS AGAIN IN MARQUETRY ON A SIDE TABLE IN THE STYLE OF WILLIAM MOORE OF DUBLIN, SOLD BY THE LATE LADY BENTHALL, SOTHEBY'S LONDON, 16 JULY 1982, LOT 134.
