The commode corresponds to designs included in Gomm's sketchbook dating from the early 1760s (now in the John Downs Collection, Winterthur Library, Delaware, USA), illustrated in L. Boynton, 'William & Richard Gomm', Burlington Magazine, June 1980, fig. 33. William Gomm subscribed to Mortimer's Universale Director, 1754, and Richard Gomm subscribed to Thomas Chippendale's Director, 1754, which included designs for related 'French commode tables'.
