An unusual feature of this elegant table is the size and versatility.
It would seat 6 people to dine when open.

This table is similar to a pair of sofa tables supplied by Gillows for Broughton Hall, North Yorkshire in 1803. A rosewood and inlaid sofa table of closely related design sold Sotheby’s London, 13 January 2009, lot 181. A table of this pattern was also originally supplied to the Lords Brownlow, Belton, Lincolnshire, sold Christie’s, New York, 17 October 2003, lot 176. A very similar table can been seen in the Mallett Yearbook 2006, p. 52.
