This table and the following table employ charming glass beadwork decoration, a technical innovation perfected in the eighteenth Century, with Johann Michael van Selow considered to be its finest craftsman. Originally from the Netherlands, Von Selow worked under the Royal patronage of Duke Carl I of Braunschweig. The factory was in existence less than twenty years (1755-1772) and survivals of this colorful beadwork are rare. Examples of Von Selow's work can be seen in the Stadtische Museum in Braunschweig and in The Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle.
