The dentil-corniced cabinet, with fielded panels of fine figured mahogany enhanced with richly serpentined brass plates, corresponds to cabinet-work executed around 1740 by Giles Grendey (d. 1780) of Aylesbury House, Clerkenwell (C. Gilbert, Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture 1700-1840, Leeds, 1996, pp. 31, 240 and 249). The design of the escutcheon on the lower door relates to three that were published in an 18th Century metal-work pattern book at the Victoria and Albert Museum (N. Goodison, 'The Victoria and Albert Museum's Collections of Metal-Work Pattern Books', Furniture History, Leeds, 1975, p. 5, nos. 932, 933 and 937).
