The silver-framed tea-chest displays a 'flower-vase' escutcheon within a tablet, whose filigree ribbon inlay is serpentined at the spandrels, while its moulded stand is supported on trussed brackets. A related stand-supported chest, with similar brass-inlaid tablet with serpentined spandrels bears the stamp of T. Landall, and a 'sarcophagus' tea-chest featured on the trade card issued in the 1740s by Messrs Landall and Gordon, who traded in Little Argyle Street ( C. Gilbert and T. Murdoch, John Channon and brass-inlaid furniture, London, 1993, figs. 13 and 12). The latter's lid is flowered with Roman acanthus at the spandrels and similar golden foliage is brass-inlaid on another related tea-chest in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London (C. Gilbert and T. Murdoch, 'Channon Revisited', Furniture History, 1994, p. 76, fig. 18).
