TRIPOD TABLE
Attributed to Frederick Hintz (born Germany, died London 1772)
Made in London at the Sign of the Porcupine, Newport Street, Leicester Fields.
A mahogany tripod table, inlaid with brass and mother-of-pearl. The top has scalloped edges, is dished to hold tea wares and is decorated with inlaid gentian flowers and leaves. It has a central pedestal, to which are joined three legs, in the form of human legs complete with stockings and buckled shoes. The table top is hinged and can be tilted down into a vertical position and placed against the wall where the brass and mother-of-pearl inlay would catch the light.
