The table surface has been japanned, meaning that it has been applied with layers of thick black varnish in imitation of Japanese lacquer. It also features a papier mâché decoration on the top, showing a still life scene with fruit, a knife, a silver cup and a glass decanter with wine. The scene is shown within a gilt border with floral decorations. The table's ebonised central support is similarly parcel gilt and set on a triform base, which is stamped 'JENNENS & BETTRIDGE'.

Artist/maker: Jennens & Bettridge (English, fl. 1815-1864)
