Close variants of this pattern appear in the Gillows Estimate Sketch Book for 24 September 1824, no. 3371, and 10 October 1828, no. 3684, one for a Mr Dagmall and the other to Captain Armitage. The 1828 pattern cost just over £9.5s but was fitted with end-drawers. A galleried version of this table, with baize-lined top, was supplied in 1822 to William, 4th Earl Fitzwilliam (d. 1833) for Wentworth Woodhouse, Yorkshire, and sold in the Wentworth sale, Christie's, London, 8 July 1998, lot 83. Another, also in mahogany, was sold anonymously, Christie's, London, 26 January 2007, lot 1034: this table had the craftsman's name 'Hodgson' inscribed on its underside.
