Thomas King
The design of the present lot appears to be an interesting variation of three comparable gothic revival drawings for cabinets and wardrobes executed by Thomas King and first featured in King's 1835 publication, The Cabinet Maker's Sketch Book, Vol.'s I and II. These designs are illustrated in the Pictorial Dictionary of British 19th Century Furniture Design, introduction by E. Joy, 1989, Woodbridge, pp.'s 54 and 90.
