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.
