Lot Essay

A pair of closely similar reeded and vase pattern bed-posts supplied to Sir Lawrence Dundas Bt., a leading patron of Thomas Chippendale, were sold at Christie's London 24 September 1998, Lot 112. The same vase pattern is seen on a tripod tea-table supplied by Chippendale for a bedroom at Harewood House, Yorkshire (C.Gilbert, 'The Life and Works of Thomas Chippendale', London 1978, Vol II, fig. 469)
