A related night-table pattern, with straight legs, commode doors and serpentined and fretted rail, featured in Genteel Household Furniture in the Present Taste, London, 1760, published by a Society of Upholsterers, Cabinet-Makers etc. (C. Gilbert, Genteel Household Furniture in the Present Taste, Ilkley reprint, 1978, pl. 41). The fretted-tray pattern of this table relates closely to that of tables supplied by Thomas Chippendale (d.1778) to Mersham Le Hatch, Kent in 1767 and to Paxton House, Berwickshire in 1774 (C. Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, London, 1978, vol. II, p. 249).
