This table is closely associated to a group in the late Georgian style promoted by the architect Henry Holland. Holland's designs were in part inspired by his pupil, Charles Heathcote Tatham made during a visit to Rome in the last decade of the 18th century. Henry Holland is considered to have collaborated with the furniture makers William Marsh and Thomas Tatham in the design of closely related tables for Hollands project of Southill Park, Bedfordshire. It is also significant that Thomas Tatham's brother Charles Heathcote Tatham was employed by the firm and therefore may have contributed to the designs for this commission (G. Jackson Stops, Southill Park, Country Life, 28 April 1994, fig 11) Marsh and Tatham also worked with Henry Holland and Dominique Daguerre for the Duke of Bedford at Woburn and for the Prince of Wales at Carlton House (C. Gilbert and G. Beard, Dictionary of English Furniture Makers, 1660-1840, Leeds, 1986, pp 623-624) A library table with a very similar pillar and almost identical base, recorded in the Heathcote collection at Normanton Park, Rutland is illustrated in M. Jourdain, Regency Furniture 1795-1830, 1965, fig. 172
