A 'Lady's Dressing Table' pattern, of fret-sided 'breakfast-table' form with hollow-fronted tray and cluster-columned legs, featured in William Ince and John Mayhew's Universal System of Household Furniture, 1762 (pl. XXXVIII). A related table is amongst the furniture likely to have been supplied in the 1760s by Thomas Chippendale for Badminton House, Gloucestershire (see R. Edwards and M. Jourdain, Georgian Cabinet-Makers, London, 1955, figs. 116).

A similar fretwork dressing-table was sold by the Countess of Coventry and Trustees of the Croome Estate, Sotheby's London, 25 June 1948, lot 136.
