This Chippendale carved mahogany high chest-of-drawers matches a dressing table now in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Both pieces bear the label of Thomas Tufft, a cabinet-maker who worked in Philadelphia between 1768 and 1788; they are the only labelled matching high chest and dressing table known to exist. There can be little doubt that the pair were created en suite, for as well as the matching labels they display virtually identical c-scroll carved knees, skirts, open brasses, and construction details. Furthermore, both have lines of descent through the Lewis family.
