This unique oak table was made during the late Baroque period and is a testament to the exceptional design skills of Daniel Marot (1661 - 1752), an influential architect and furniture designer from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Marot was well-known for his engravings and had a significant impact on architecture and design beyond his time. In 1694, he traveled to London with William III, where he became the architect and Master of Works for the new British monarch.
Marot's creativity was evident in the beautiful garden designs at Hampton Court Palace. Although these features were lost over time, they have since been lovingly restored. Marot's influence can also be seen in the carefully crafted furniture of the new State Rooms, including mirrors, tables, and state beds. The embroidery on the state beds, with its regal ostrich feathers and intricate valances, aligns perfectly with Marot's later published designs.
