The bow-centred chest-of-drawers and commodes with reeded Pompeian columnar corners reflects the antique style popularised around 1800 by Thomas Sheraton's engravings: its chaste 'Grecian' reeded foot relates to those on a sofa design published in Sheraton's Cabinet Dictionary, London, 1803, pl. 73.

This mahogany commode, with its flame-figured tablets framed in volute-cornered reed mouldings, relates to a commode, in the manner of Gillows, sold anonymously, Sotheby's, London, 22 February 1991, lot 289. A related ebonised low side cabinet, part of a large group of furniture supplied in circa 1813 by Gillows to Thomas Langford-Brooke (d. 1815) for Mere Hall, Knutsford, Cheshire was sold by the late Mrs Helen Langford-Brooke, Mere Hall, Cheshire, Christie's house sale, 23 May 1994, lot 86.
