The design of this table includes both butterfly shaped flaps and serpentine form across the front and back, the complication of this design exemplifies the quality of the cabinetmaker''s skill. The elegant square tapering leg is the most desirable profile, it stands on original brass castors, note the width of the rollers, a sure sign of quality.
The Pembroke table in its finest form is about the most elegant sort of drop-leaf table. The design of the Pembroke table appe
...ars in cabinetmaker''s trade books from about 1760 and although undocumented is thought to be named after a commission for the Countess of Pembroke.
