This table displays the design influence of Edward William Godwin (1833-1886), who worked in the Liberty dress department from 1884.

To date it has not been proven that he designed furniture for Liberty, the arrangement of eight legs on centre tables however was a favourite of Godwin's and would suggest involvement in the design of this table.
