A pattern for a related lady's writing-table with fire-screen features in Thomas Sheraton's The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing Book, 1793 (part III, pl. XXXLII). This multi-purpose table, in golden satinwood banded with Etruscan-black fillets, closely relates to one presented to the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1927 (M. Tomlin, Catalogue of Adam Period Furniture, London, 1982, p. 168).
