Gratefully built with ACNLPatternTool
This small table features two drop leaves and a drawer. It was ideal for small, informal meals or for taking tea. In his “Cabinet Dictionary” (London, 1803), Thomas Sheraton describes a Pembroke table as “a kind of breakfast table, from the name of the lady who first gave orders for one of them, and who probably gave the first idea of such a table to the workmen.”
