This small shaving table is very portable. It may have been used by Frederick, the enslaved manservant of Ninian Home to shave Ninian. Of a cube shape, it has one long drawer beneath two cock beaded cupboard doors. The fitted top has a central hole for a basin and two surviving turned mahogany shaving cups in receiving holes.

The stretcher below was designed to hold a jug or water bottle. It retains its original laminated castors. This model is based on the design in Plate LIV of Chippendale’s Director (1762 edition) and follows the pattern seen in earlier tables from the Chippendale workshop, such as the example made for Dumfries House in 1759. (Gilbert, p.252 pl. 460).
