A Gorgeous Gillows Fitted Writing Table

19th century
Description

GILLOWS of LANCASTER: a rare and superb quality early/mid 19th century "kidney" shaped WRITING TABLE in Gonzales Alvez (Albuera) timber.

This beautiful, elegant and practical table features a carved "gadroon" border around the blind-tooled dark green leather writing surface, below which the shallow frieze has two small convex drawers (one fitted for writing implements; ink wells etc) and these flank the larger central convex drawer.

It is supported on typical "Gillows" carved and gadrooned solid uprights, leading to cabriole legs and carved feet and original concealed castors within. Lovely condition and a good warm colour.

** Many of the features of this table can be found illustrated in "Gillows of Lancaster & London" by Susan E. Stuart.

Declaration
