The marquetry derives from the type of panel ornaments illustrated in Robert Pricke's Ornaments of Architecture, 1674 and was plagiarised from the Livres de Divers Ornemens de feuillages published by A. Ducerceau (d. 1710); it also corresponds to that on a cabinet formerly at Glemham Hall, Suffolk (sold by the Executors of the late Patrick Cobbold, Sotheby's London, 7 July 1995, lot 31). The latter cabinet, which appears to have come from the same workshop, may have formed part of the furnishings brought to the house by Dudley North (d. 1730) (E.T. Joy, 'Glemham Hall, Suffolk and its Furniture', Connoiseur, June 1976, fig. 1).

A table attributed to Gerrit Jensen (d. 1715) with closely related marquetry is at Boughton House, Northamptonshire and illustrated in T. Murdoch, ed., Boughton House, London, 1992, p. 132, fig. 127
