This form of crescent-scrolled table on hermed feet was adopted in 1772 for a dressing-table supplied by Thomas Chippendale (d. 1779) for Burton Constable, Yorkshire (C. Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, London, 1978, vol. II, fig. 427). It also features on a writing-table illustrated in the 1787 Estimate Sketch Book of Gillows of London and Lancaster (L. Boynton, ed,. Gillow Furniture Designs 1760-1800, Royston, 1995, fig. 39).
