A gilt-gesso framed looking glass with a similar cherub mask and wings to the cresting was formerly in the collection of J.S. Sykes and is illustrated in R.W. Symonds, Masterpieces of English Furniture and Clocks, London, 1940, figs, 38 & 39. Another corner cupboard of circa 1725, displaying an unusual combination of gilt-gesso and japanned decoration, also displayed a similar winged cherub head to the cresting; it was acquired by the renowned collector Sir James Horlick (d. 1958) and later sold Sotheby's, London, 5 June 2007, lot 28. The latter was tentatively attributed to John Belchier (d.1753), cabinet-maker at `The Sun', St. Paul's Churchyard, on the basis of the combination of decoration.
