Note: During the 1870s Godwin designed a series of furniture for Collinson & Lock, which was then later redesigned for William Watt, which he described as cottage-style. A design drawing for a similar dresser or buffet of demi-lune form with open side shelves and brass fitments appears in William Watt's Art Furniture catalogue of 1877 as illustrated in Soros, Susan, The Secular Furniture of E. W. Godwin, New Haven, 1999, p. 221, pl. 354.
