Summary
A giltwood and amboyna console table, Genoa, possibly by Henry Thomas [Enrico] Peters (1793-1852), circa 1825 - 1830 [NT 608121.1] and its marble top [NT 608121.2]. The large pier mirror it stands before, English, early 19th century [NT 608121.3]. Interestingly, the frieze to the table [NT 608121.1] - carved with laurel and centred by a rosette - is identical to that to the console table in the Sultana Room [NT 608113.1], suggesting a common maker.
