Dated examples range from the 1660’s to the middle of the 18th Century, the majority falling towards the end of this range. A cupboard with similar carving is illustrated in Victor Chinnery Oak Furniture, The British Tradition, Woodbridge 1979, page 486, fig. 4. p. 168. A further example was sold Christie’s South Kensington, Oak and Country Furniture sale, 12 July 2005, lot 410.
