Certain constructional features of the desk, such as the central placement of the casters, the short-grain framing within the drawer cavity and the use of red wash, were used by Thomas Chippendale, while the use of a blind-fret frieze appears on a documented secretaire- cabinet supplied in 1764 for Sir Lawrence Dundas for Aske Hall, Yorkshire (see C. Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, London, 1978, vol. II, p. 56, fig. 87).
