Sheraton’s restrained description of the design gives some idea of the popularity of this type of table during the final decade of the 18th century:
Pembroke Table. The use of this piece is for a Gentleman or Lady to breakfast on. The style of finishing these tables is very neat, sometimes bordering upon elegance...
