Catalogue Note
The name 'counter table' describes a table with the
top marked out with a series of lines and squares to
assist with calculating accounts. Alternatively, a
marked cloth could be used. The counted coins
could easily be deposited into the chest by
employing a sliding lid. It is now common to find
the sliding top later hinged. Although these tables
are rare, the Burrell Collection, Glasgow, has no
less than three examples, all with parchemin panels,
[Museum Nos. 14.358, 14:354 & 14,352], with
one also carved with the arms of Scarborough and
Ghisburn, Yorkshire. A counter table with linenfoldcarved panels, is in the collection of the Victoria &
Albert Museum [Museum No. W.49-1952].

Catalogue Note
This bookcase has a number of unusual features that
suggest that it may have been designed by an architect
rather than a furniture designer. These include the
laminated glazing bars that are applied to the glass rather
than having the glass set into rebates, the single central
cupboard stile rather than it being a pair of stiles, the overly
engineered door bolts, the fall front not having any
supporting brackets, the un-graduated central run of
drawers, the inclusion of a folio cupboard and the moulding
across the upper section that limit how wide the doors can
open. A final feature of note are the finials applied to the
door frames above the central ogee glazing bars which are
comparable to those applied to a library bookcase
illustrated in Thomas Chippendale's 'The Gentleman and
Cabinet Maker's Director', 3rd Edition, 1762, plate XCVIII.
