A pair of four-tiered hanging shelves in the yellow bedroom at Southill, Bedfordshire, are described in an 1816 inventory as being of "fustic wood". Although Sir Francis Watson commented that in this particular case the timber "seems to resemble satinwood" the entry suggests that more than usually exotic woods were used for the purposes. (See: F.J.B. Watson in Southill A Regency House, London, 1951, p.39 and pl.32). Southill was built largely between 1796 and 1806 by Henry Holland for Samuel Whitbread II (d.1816).
