The upper part of this cabinet corresponds to a suite of furniture supplied by George Oakley to Papworth Hall, Cambridgeshire, built for John Madryll Cheere in 1809. The straight band of stars is inlaid around the tops of a set of quartetto tables from the suite (sold Christie's London, 9 April 1992, lot 109) and a games table (offered anonymously, Phillips London, 11 February 1992, lot 83). The quartetto tables are illustrated in M.Jourdain and R.Fastnedge, Regency Furniture 1795-1830, London, rev.ed., 1965, p.69, fig.145.
The caryatids with folded arms appear on a table in the Flaxman or 'Star' Room in Thomas Hope's Duchess Street mansion/museum (see: T.Hope, Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, London, 1807, pl.7)
