Note: The baize lining is of later date.
The table has acquired an outstanding colour and patina. The striking lion masks carved to the knees of the cabriole legs relate to identical carved masks on three pieces formerly in the celebrated Griffiths collection: a high-back armchair, a library armchair and a drop-leaf table. Both Percival D. Griffiths and R. W. Symonds were fond of the lion mask motif, and Symonds wrote an article on the subject.
