This stamp is recorded on various types of furniture, such as a walnut writing-table and an ormolu-mounted kidney-shaped yew-wood and ebony-inlaid writing-desk, both illustrated in C. Gilbert, The Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture 1700-1840, Leeds, 1996, p. 267, figs. 497 and 498. Several pieces bearing this stamp, from Tew Park, Great Tew, Oxfordshire, were sold from the collection of The late Major Eustace Robb, Christie's House Sale, 27-29 May 1987, including lots 214, a Victorian satin-birch armchair and lot 1108 a Victorian mahogany wardrobe.
