Summary

Description
English: Left-hand work-table illustrated in the appendix of Thomas Sheraton's 'The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing Book, referred as "[Table], for a lady to work at ; … with a drawer to write a note on supported with two lyre stands"

From text:

"Of the Ladies' Work Tables. Plate XXVI.

"THE table on the left is intended to afford conveniences for writing, by having a part of the top hinged in front to rise up. This rising top when it is let down locks into the frame, and secures the bag where the work is. The standards on which the table frame rests have transverse pieces tenoned on, which screw to the under side of the frame. The drapery which hides the work-bag is tacked to a rabbet at the under edge of the frame all round." [p.403]
