Specialist note

A design for a plain, unadorned 'Sideboard Table' was included in Chippendale's first edition of the Director (1754, plate XXXV). An example of a comparable model but of later date, circa 1765-70, and executed in oak, possibly by Chippendale, is at Nostell Priory, Yorkshire (NT 959824).
