This form of low wardrobe or chiffonier relates to a low clothes-press originally supplied by Gillows of London and Lancaster to Charles, 2nd Earl Manvers (1778-1860) for Thoresby Hall, Newark, Nottinghamshire, circa 1820-22.

Its form of enrichments was described by the firm as comprising 'neat moulded pilasters, carved trusses and patteras', while the doors' Grecian-fretted mouldings were called 'Lozenge corners'. It corresponds to Gillow's 'Rutland' pattern, such as the wardrobe they executed in July 1820 for Belvoir Castle, Rutland for John Henry Manners, 5th Duke of Rutland (d. 1857) (see Gillows' Estimate Sketch Book, no. 3053).
