<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 2060056, member: 29&quot;]It&#039;s nowhere near girly enough for a sewing/work table and quite the wrong shape. There is no sign of a fitment for a velvet or tapestry bag, which would indeed be typical of the period for a work table. Plenty of those still exist here. The variant is a wooden &quot;bag&quot; below, also common. Both types were suspended from the base of the table top: they did not sit on a shelf. </p><p><img src="https://www.loveantiques.com/images/d000438/items/63331/georgianmahoganyladiessewingtable.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.loveantiques.com/images/d000207/items/75865/7940_3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And of course, no lift off or fold out top either. Or fitted interior. </p><p><br /></p><p>Embroideries and tatting were done using frames, of course. You&#039;d not lean on a table to do that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
