The sideboard has excellent antique gold plated drawer and cupboard handles depicting these same stylised tulip motifs.There is a cabinet with similar whip-lash floral decoration shown on page 97 of the 1992 edition of Victorian and Edwardian Furniture by John Andrews. This is also attributed to Waring and Gillows.
