The commode doors are inlaid with flowered and foliated panels in the Louis XIV 'boulle' fashion introduced by George Bullock, cabinet-maker of Liverpool and London, (d. 1818). Related inlay, executed in holly features on a marble-topped commode that he supplied in 1817 for Great Tew, Oxfordshire, as well as on a replica made in the 1840s by Messrs George Morant of Bond Street, (sold from Great Tew Park, Christie's house sale, 27-29 May, 1987, lot 35 and 36).
