The leaf-wrapping at the top of the legs of this chest-stand correspond to a pattern in Gillow's archives for September 1760, for a 'Universal Table' supplied to an attorney in Manchester called Chippendale (L. Boynton, ed., Gillow Furniture Designs 1760-1800, Royston, 1995, fig. 3).
Such cutlery-chests accompanied sideboard-tables and often supported water-buckets, as with a bucket-on-stand also by Gillows sold anonymously, in these Rooms, 16 November 1995, lot 55.
