For these he gives numerous designs of trimmings for ornamental glass-doors, a specimen of which appears on Plate XLII., No. 2. Other bookcases were combinations of bookcases and writing-desks. Some of them he calls “bureau desk and bookcase.” Two examples of the desk and bookcase are shown as Nos. 2 and 3 on Plate XXXIX. One of these has many of the so-called “Gothic” characteristics, with its pinnacles and crockets, although the inverted C and shell-like scroll is in evidence, while the other is quite “Chinese,” with its fretwork and umbrella-shaped ornaments despite the dripping-water decoration upon the glass doors. Sometimes another combination appears of a dressing-table with a bookcase, and a table and bookcase is not uncommon either. A writing-table and bookcase for a lady has “the middle feet come out with the drawer, which hath a slider covered with green cloth or Spanish leather for writing upon.” Chippendale designed convenient library furniture, the forms of which are solid and intended for comfort. His “buroe tables” usually consist of two square tiers of drawers hollowed out in the centre and covered by a large slab. Sometimes he makes a sweeping line as in No. 1 on Plate XXXIX. On the same Plate, No. 5 exhibits the knee-hole of another “buroe table” ornamented with a little carving. No. 5 on Plate XLI. shows one end of a “library table.” Other tables are described as follows: “A Gothic Table with different feet, the one solid, the other cut thro.” “A Gothic Writing-Table, with one long drawer at the top, doors at each end, drawers in the inside, and a recess for the knees.... The columns are fixed to the doors and open with them.... This table has been made more than once from this design, and has a better appearance when executed than in the drawing.” “A Gothic Library Table, the corners canted, and a Gothic column is fixed at each corner; that fixed upon the doors, and opens with them.” Another writing-table “hath a writing Drawer which draws out on one end and has Term feet to support it.” The top “rises with a double horse to stand to read or write upon.” Another plate shows a Library Table with circular doors at each corner. A writing-table in the Gothic taste has a “recess for the knees, and the pillars are fixed to the Doors and open with them.” “A Library table” has “drawers and doors on both sides with upright Partitions for Books and Drawers for Works.” Of another Library table he says: “The ends form an oval with carved terms fixed to the Doors and which must be cut at the astragal, base mouldings to open with the Doors.” Another writing-table has drawers in the under part, small drawers and “pigeon-holes” and a place for books in the upper. In another writing-table “half of the front feet come out with the Drawer,” and in one corner is a “quadrant drawer for ink and sand.” Another has a “flap on hinges in the top that rises to write upon.”
