The fully rendered ribbon-tied swags suspended from patera roundels, diagonal quarter-veneered borders and heavily engraved marquetry details appear on a commode formerly in the H.H. Mulliner collection and now at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (illustrated in D. FitzGerald, Georgian Furniture, London, 1969, pl.104 and 105). Another related commode formerly in the collection of the Dukes of Marlborough at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire was sold, the property of a Lady, Christie's London, 5 July 1990, lot 128. While these commodes had traditionally been thought to be by cabinet-maker John Cobb, they recent scholarship has re-attributed them to the London workshop of John Mayhew and William Ince.
