Similar models were designed as 'music' or 'reading' tables by Thomas Chippendale. Pictured is a 'Reading Desk' supplied by Chippendale's workshop for Sir Rowland Winn at Nostell Priory between 1767 and 1769. Apart from the lapeted shoulders to the legs on our example, the base is strikingly similar. Various versions of these tables were made by London makers but the quality of construction, material and design of this table points to one of the more important workshops.
England, circa 1760s
