The pembroke table with its richly grained quarter-veneers and waved fan medallion centered by crossed leaves fits securely into a group of commodes and pembroke tables identified by Lucy Wood in her Catalogue of Commodes, Woodbridge, 1994, no. 21, pp, 191-194. According to Lucy Wood, the maker of this group may have taken his inspiration from Thomas Chippendale's work, noting the magnificent quarter-veneered and inlaid commode with reputed Duke of Wellington provenance (op. cit, no. 20, pp. 180-186), however this maker remains anonymous.
