Library table c. 1800

This "Library Table" by Thomas Hope, an English architect and designer, dates to around 1800. The table's design reflects the Neoclassical style that was popular at the time, showcasing a sleek, geometric form. The use of black and gold paint, along with the Greek key motif on the table's edge, further emphasizes the classical influence. Hope was known for his interest in ancient Greek and Roman art and architecture, which he incorporated into his furniture designs, as seen in this elegant piece.
