I’m with you John, a table like that you can always find room for.

I have to wonder though, it has become common currency to attribute this form to P&S, could other makers have made them as well? They go wonderful with the neo-grec cabinets of the period and the cabinets were made by many companies. Perhaps P&S did have the market cornered on this type of table?

We have one with nice green marble:

The marquetry topped ones seem to sell for a lot more than the marble, but at least I don’t have to cover up the marquetry if i want to put something on it. Beautiful tables indeed!

Oh, Tom, having a proper spot never stopped me from buying another table.

Like ice cream after dinner, there is always room for a Victorian parlor table somewhere.

I sure wish that I had the proper spot for this table.
