This pier table, with concealed bureau dressing fitments, is designed in the elegant George II 'Roman' fashion as featured on the 1730s cabinet-maker's trade-sheet of Thomas Potter (C. Gilbert and T. Murdoch, John Channon and brass-inlaid furniture, New Haven and London, 1993, p. 19, fig. 11). The chest's hinged, column-cornered and reed-moulded top is raised on truss-scrolled and tapering columnar legs terminating in round reed-banded 'toe' pads. While its hinged writing-drawer has been adapted, it retains its hinged dressing-mirror. It is likely to have been amongst the furnishings commissioned by The Honourable Francis Fane (d. 1758) following the completion of Fulbeck, his Lincolnshire Roman villa built in the early 1730s.
