This table, as its pair, are based on the designs of French Huguenot architect and furniture designer Daniel Marot, who was Master of Works to England's Dutch-born king William III. Not a period table, it was produced in the early 20th centiry by the high-end decorating firm of White Allom and Company, who supplied many of the furnishings for Henry Huntington's new Beaux-Arts mansion in San Marino.
