The Samuel Smith Breakfast Table, purchased on 9th September 1756, directly corresponds with plate XXXIII in the first edition of Chippendale's director, published in 1754. Smith was apparantly the first London furniture-maker that Lord Dumfries turned to before he discovered Chippendale. Perched on top of it is a Kangxi (1662-1772) Chinese Famille Verte Circular Bowl and Cover, painted with flowering chrysanthemum, peony and other foliage.
