Although tables of this basic form were a staple of all the great George IV and late Regency period cabinetmakers, there are various features of this table that make an attribution to Morel and Seddon appropriate. The use of amboyna became something of a trademark of the firm in the late 1820s due to the large numbers of pieces veneered in this timber made for the refurbishment of Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace for George IV. The slim frieze of this table, without any drawers, is a relatively unusual feature but is found on several of the Morel tables still in the Royal Collection.
The carved feet and leaf supports also compare closely with their counterparts on this table, also in the Royal Collection.
This is a highly distinctive and attractive piece with all the quality one would expect from a piece attributed to the finest maker of this period.
