The bedroom-apartment table fitted with hinged 'Pembroke' flaps, drawers and enclosed stretcher-trays was advertised as a 'Breakfast Table' in Thomas Chippendale's Gentleman and Cabinet-maker's Director, 1754 (pl.33). The latter featured ribbon-fretted rails in the Chinese or so-called 'India' fashion. This table's rails, with central lozenged compartment, relates to those of a table, fitted with commode-doors, in the Earl of Mansfield's collection at Scone Palace, Scotland (A.Coleridge, Chippendale Furniture, London, 1968, fig. 211).
