This satinwood and inlaid table with its lacquer panel is the best example of its kind that we have come across. Dating to the later Eighteenth century these tables rarely display this level of workmanship.

Interestingly, the base is constructed from iron rods which are bound in material upon which the various wooden veneers are applied. Because of the use of iron, the table base is heavier than if it were just wood and therefore more stable.
