Gillows of London and Lancaster featured this Grecian pattern trestle, with spindles, in their 1818 Sketch Book (E. T. Joy, English Regency Furniture 1800-1851, London, 1977, p. 20). This trestle pattern also featured on a rosewood table, with ringed lion-pattern handles, supplied for Great Tew Park, Oxfordshire, sold by the late Major Eustace Robb, Great Tew Park, Christie's house sale, 27 May 1987, lot 147. A related table, also fitted with scrolled brackets at the top of the trestles, was sold anonymously in these Rooms, 9 July 1998, lot 90.
Similar castors feature on a breakfast-table offered anonymously, in these Rooms, 23 April 1998, lot 89. This pattern of castor appears in a design in a metalwork pattern book at the Victoria & Albert Museum (N.
