Thomas Chippendale's The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, 1754 (left side of pl. XXXIII) illustrated this pattern of 'Breakfast Table', but with a more elaborate version of the lozenge-centred fret running horizontally rather that vertically. The right side of Chippendale's plate XXXIII, illustrated a breakfast table with rounded corners.
A rectangular topped breakfast-table, fretted directly from the Chippendale pattern, was acquired by the Victoria and Albert Musuem, London, in 1950 (D. Fitz-Gerald, Georgian Furniture, London, 1969, no. 80).
