Description
Not much is attributed to the table, other than that it is "small" and "round," close to a window in the library. When Dorian sits at the table in Chapter 8, the day is described as "exquisite" with "warm air" that seems to be "laden with spices"(Wilde 92). This is where Dorian sits himself to enjoy the morning and his breakfast the day after placing a screen in front of the portrait.

The image is of a Mysore rosewood and ivory table, possibly made in 1902 (a bit after Dorian Gray was published). According to the Victoria and Albert Museum, the piece was made by M. Yusuf Ali and Sons. Though the table was manufactured after Wilde's text came out, this piece reflects a bit of the oriental feeling evoked in the first library scene's description.
