This George III French-fashioned pier-commode-table, with drawer-nests and 'night-table' pot-cupboard, has its top elegantly serpentined and hollowed in cupid-bow form in the manner of a 1760 table pattern in Thomas Chippendale's, Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, 3rd ed., 1762, pl. 72. Reeds band the top and the drawers, while those framing the door tablet are hollow-cornered in a French manner illustrated in the 1st edition of Chippendale's Director, 1754. Chippendale also adopted this elegant leg form, with serpentined and tapering truss-scrolls, for a dressing-table supplied to Rowland Winn, for Nostell Priory, Yorkshire in the early 1770s (C. Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, 1978, fig. 421).
