This linen press is part of a distinct group of 'French fashion' furniture based on designs in Thomas Chippendale's The Gentleman and Cabinet-Makers Director, 1754-62. They feature serpentine fronted cases and are all raised on shaped frames with cabriole legs. A closely related chest on chest of virtually identical form was sold from the collection of Samuel Messer, Christie's, London, 5 December 1991, lot 129.
