The Pembroke table has its Etruscan-black banded top quarter-veneered with rays springing from a Palmyreen-sunflowered medallion that is displayed within a husk-festooned and lozenged mosaic compartment. Similar husk-festooned medallions embellish its flaps. More flowered paterae embellish the hermed legs which are inlaid with trompe l'oeil flutes. While sharing a number of features in common with the 'Minerva' commode supplied in 1773 to Harewood House, Yorkshire by Thomas Chippendale (d.1779; see C. Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, vol. II, London, 1978, fig.232), it is also fitted with a pattern of 'Etruscan'-ring handle that features on other Chippendale furniture including a table supplied to Paxton House in 1774 (ibid., fig.398).
