This table is a classic example of the 'character one' table with standard single floating panel set into a mitered, mortise and tenon frame. See for example tables recently sold at Sotheby's, 22 April 2021, lot 47, and one at Christie's, 23 September 2021, lot 998. This stately table is distinguished by the juxtaposition of the plain, u-shaped spandrels and elegant ribbed molding of the legs and the single humpback stretcher.
