Spindle-frame tables of a related pattern are attributed to Messrs Gillows of London and Lancaster, as an example may be found at Leighton Hall, Lancashire, a house purchased by Richard Gillow in 1822 from his cousin Thomas Worswick. The house contains a fine collection of Gillow furniture. A plainer set at the house corresponds to a 'Quarto table' pattern of 1811 in the Gillow Sketch Books (now in Westminster Library, no. 1895), however there are no patterns for a spindle set. Related sets were sold Sotheby's London, 5 July 1991, lot 149, Christie's London, 5 June 1988, lot 118, and Christie's London, 7 July 1994, lot 97.
