The golden sideboard-table frames, with lambrequin cartouches displaying Arcadian Pan masks, are mosaiced with flowered ribbon-trellis to evoke Rome's Temple of Venus; while their truss-scrolled pilasters, like the stretcher ties, are wave voluted and hung with bacchic satyr-masks issuing from acanthus-scrolled cartouches. The pattern largely originates from an engraving in Pierre Lepautre (d. 1716), Livre de tables qui sont dans les appartements du roy, Paris, 1710, which inspired B. & T. Langley's, City and Country Builder's and Workman's Treasury of Designs (1739/40).
