    The form and scale of the present tables correspond with several two-drawer tables designed by Ernest Gimson.  Waals took over Gimson’s workshop on the latter’s death.  The designs are in the collection of The Wilson, Cheltenham.

    See, for example, a slightly larger oak dressing table (1941.222: 440); another similar table (1941.222: 302) and a third (1941.222: 26).
