Fine Matched Pair of Gillows Library Tables

19th century
For Sale by Carse Antiques
Description

Fine matched pair of Regency period Gillows of Lancaster rosewood library tables of the highest quality. Both tables are exactly the same design and style but there are minor differences as can be seen in the photos. Spaced away from each other either side of a fireplace for example they will look superb. With their scale and size they would look much better than a pair of games tables in a larger room. Both tables are in first class original condition with no issues at all. Both are a nice colour. I will let the pictures do the talking.

SIZE; 46" wide by 26" deep by 28 1/2" high

CIRCA; 1810 - 1830

Although not stamped that I can see these tables are definitely by Gillows of Lancaster as they are illustrated in the book and I have had the exact design stamped underneath before in the past.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Produced during the reign of King William IV between 1830 and 1837, these tables represent a transition from light Regency forms to weightier Victorian styling. They are characterised by robust proportions, reeded turned pedestal legs, and high-quality timber veneers.

Cabinetmakers during this period favoured rich hardwoods such as rosewood, Cuban mahogany, and walnut. Construction incorporated solid timber frameworks beneath fine veneers, with carved turned elements and hand-cut joinery.

Authentic pieces by Gillows of Lancaster frequently feature a stamped mark reading GILLOW or GILLOWS . LANCASTER on drawer edges or undersides. They are also identified by exceptionally fine timber selection, precise joinery, and distinctively proportioned turned supports.

A matched pair offers symmetrical styling options, such as positioning them behind twin sofas or placing them along opposing walls of a hallway. They also function as compact executive writing desks in contemporary home offices.

Dust surfaces regularly using a soft microfiber cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually to protect the finish. Position the furniture away from direct heat sources and intense sunlight to prevent veneer cracking and timber movement.
