In 1768, Thomas Chippendale (d. 1779) supplied a 'neat Mahogany 8 leg Table of fine wood £2.2.0' to Sir Edward Knatchbull, Bt. for Mersham Le Hatch, Kent. The table which is closely related to the present lot, is illustrated in C. Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, London, 1978, vol. II, fig. 410.
