A drawing for this pattern of table appears in Gillows' Estimate Sketch Books, dated 1810 and referred to as a 'chamber writing-table' (No. 344/144, p. 11, Westminster City Archives). Gillows supplied four tables of this pattern in 1811 to T. W. Egerton for Tatton Park, Cheshire (N. Goodison and J. Hardy, 'Gillows at Tatton Park, Cheshire', Furniture History, 1970, pp. 28, 30, 32 and 35, pl. 16B).
Normally featuring just one long drawer in the frieze, the two-drawer version offered here appears to be a less common variant, an example of which was sold anonymously, Christie's, London, 10 March 2005, lot 214 (£7,200 including premium).
