Note: Godson & Coles makes the argument that this piece was made by Frederick Appletree of Birmingham for John Gibbons, Edgebaston, circa 1837. They searched the Gibbons family archives which contain a number of bills from Frederick Appletree, 47 Bull Street, Birmingham, trading as "Cabinet Maker & Upholsterer, Interior Decorator, Paper Hanger", his invoice heading states "The Trade Supplied With Seasoned Mahogany, Rosewood, Fine Veneers & Bed Pillars, Etc.". While is wasn't possible to establish which invoice from 1837 to 1842 matches this lot, they found that Gibbons was clearly engaging Appletree for much of the furnishing of his Edgbaston home and this cabinet corresponds to the furnishings Appletree was supplying.
