This serving table with its fluted and palm-capped columnar legs, corresponds to a pattern in Gillows' Estimate Sketch Book April 1793, for a pembroke table made by William Beckett (L. Boynton, (ed.), Gillow Furniture Designs 1760-1800, Royston, 1995, fig. 63). This same leg appears on a pembroke table and a writing-table, both attributed to Gillows, sold by the Wilbraham Family, in these Rooms, 6 February 1997, lots 10 and 11.
