Claude Rotch, like his contemporary Percival Griffiths, was heavily influenced by the connoisseur R. W. Symonds. His bequest of early to mid-Georgian furniture to the Victoria and Albert Museum was described at the time of his death in 1962 as 'The most remarkable single gift of English Furniture ever presented to the Museum'. The mirror, along with many other examples from the Rotch collection, is illustrated in P. Macquoid and R. Edwards, The Dictionary of English Furniture, among other publications.
