Re: Hint

All I can think of is Queen Ann, but isn't that a house style?

Good guess, but nope.

Re: Hint-I Know, I Know---

Klinger,(MASH). Never heard of a Klinger Table, tho.

question:

The question says he noted this type of table in 1750. Thomas was BORN in 1750. Did he write about it before he was born? ;-)

Wow

>>Thomas was BORN in 1750.

No wonder Thomas Skaggs knows all this stuff ;)

Clarification and Hint #2

Sorry, I worded things incorrectly. This type of table was first noted in 1750. However LATER Sheraton wrote of the table and noted the history of how it got its name.

Although Sheraton was a fantastic furniture designer he was not that good at birth! Sorry for the confusion.

Tom

Yet a third hint....

This table is somewhat close in form to a Sutherland table.

Answer

Sorry, I may not be around my computer much for the next couple of days so I'll toss out the answer now rather than drag it out.

The answer is Harriet, The Duchess of Pembroke.

The table of course is the Pembroke Table
