The gilt bronze mounted kingwood, amaranth and marquetry table en chiffoniere has an inset marble top above a frieze drawer inlaid with quill, inkpot and books, over a row of leather bookends, with a useful frieze drawer and another on the side. The underside bears a label for the cabinet maker and builder G. Trollope & Sons and this would have been made in their Paris workshops.
