This elegant two-tiered lamp table is a faithful reproduction of the 19th-century Empire style. The Empire style is a classical style that flourished during the First French Empire (1804-1814) under Napoleon, a rigorous decorative style that revived the magnificent aesthetics of ancient Rome and Greece in modern times. This style later spread throughout Europe and was also popular in the homes of the upper class in Britain.

Burl walnut is a wood obtained from the tumorous parts of walnut trees, and is characterized by its complex and beautiful grain pattern that resembles a cloud. Also known as the "king of woods," it has long been prized by royalty, aristocrats, and the wealthy for its beauty and rarity.

The most striking feature is the intricate decoration on the tabletop and frieze (decorative band). The perimeter of the tabletop and the edges of the lower shelves are decorated with brass bands, and their sharp straight lines beautifully accentuate the overall contours. The frieze is decorated with gold leaf leaf patterns, creating a majestic beauty reminiscent of an ancient Greek palace.

The four legs feature a classic tapered design, tapering gracefully from top to bottom, creating a beautiful proportion. Each leg features vertical fluting, a refined detail that applies the columnar aesthetic of ancient Greek and Roman architecture to furniture. Brass end caps are fitted to the legs to prevent damage from contact with the floor and to achieve a functional beauty that enhances the overall decorative unity.

The practicality of the two-tiered structure is also excellent: the upper shelf is perfect for displaying lighting fixtures and decorative items, while the lower shelf is ideal for storing books and small items. This functional layout is also an example of the reasonable design philosophy unique to British furniture, which makes the most of limited space.
