Bearing a seemingly identical veneered case with tambour door, this work table is closely related to three others with urn-turned pedestal supports, two of which are in the collections of Winterthur Museum and Bayou Bend. For illustrations of these related tables, see Warren et al. (cited above); Montgomery, American Furniture: The Federal Period (New York, 1966), cat. 408; Sack, Fine Points of Furniture: Early American (New York, 1950), p. 266.
