These tables are based on a design for a 'screen' table published in Thomas Sheraton's The Cabinet-maker and Upholsterer's Drawing-Book of 1793, pl. 43. According to Sheraton, 'this table is intended for a lady to write or work at near the fire; the screen part behind securing her face from its injuries.'
