Thomas Sheraton's, Appendix to the Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing Book, 1802, illustrated a related pattern, dated 1794, for an elegantly inlaid 'Lady's Secretary' with book-cabinet and herm-tapered legs (pl.64). A related secretaire, surmounted by a tall cabinet, together with other pieces associated with Thomas Weeks of Titchborne Street, are discussed by Christopher Gilbert in, 'Some Weeks cabinets reconsidered', Connoisseur, May 1971, pp. 13-18, and pl.7. Another 'secretary and cabinet' that closely relates to the Sheraton pattern bears the late eighteenth centry trade label of George Simson of St. Paul's Church Yard (C. Gilbert, The Pictorial Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1700 - 1840, Leeds, 1996, fig. 840).
