Work table, about 1840, Mahogany, modern velvet, modern wool, Great Britain, V&A Museum no. CIRC.626-1969
Dimensions Height 72.7 cm Width 61 cm Depth 42.9 cm
Work tables were essential pieces of domestic furniture for women. This example, although relatively simple in design, was practical and functional. The flat top could be used as a working surface and embroidery materials and tools stored in the bag below the drawer, which could be pulled out for easier access, while the padded stretcher offered a comfortable foot rest. The pillar-like legs, with their elongated leaf decoration and the lion paw feet, are examples of the influence of the Greek Revival style which had been fashionable for furniture since 1800.
