Only one chest of drawers is described in the Memorandum, a summary of furniture agreed between Gillows and Lord Bolton, but two are included in the actual bill.
A very closely related pattern of chest of drawers is illustrated in Gillows Estimate Sketch Books for March 1821, p. 3129, as supplied to Lord Duncannon.
