The colour and patination on this table are outstanding, and it stands out from the general design of Irish tables. The carving is of special interest because it is an Irish interpretation of a design by Matthias Lock, published in 1746. The fluid execution and lightness of appearance show that the carver understood the new rococo style which was only just emerging when the table was made.

The table follows Lock’s design, although in a simplified form, and it is apparent that the carver or designer of this table must have been familiar with Lock’s publication.
