ANTIQUE #SA1184992

Exceptional Gillingtons Of Dublin George III Rosewood Table C. 1820

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Webberley Antiques

An extraordinarily rare and beautiful rosewood dining table seating four people in comfort by the prominent Dublin makers Samuel and George Gillington.
 
The table is stamped Gillingtons and with the registration number 4853 - having been made in around 1820.
 
Gillingtons had workshops in Abbey Street, Dublin from 1815 to 1838 and specialised in making the finest Irish furniture. Its work is considered on a par with the best makers of the day including Gillows and is highly sought after for its beautiful proportions and design. Due to the short years of production very few original Gillingtons pieces survive.
 
This table is made with the finest timbers and the column and legs are simply stunning – beautifully and fluidly carved with acanthus leaves and terminating in lion’s paw feet cuffed with bands and accentuated with acanthus leaves. The sides of the knees with carved scrolls, the column with multiple ring turns and a band of beading below a large fluted bulb.
