Gillows of Lancaster: Fine Mahogany Desk

19th century
Description

GILLOWS of LANCASTER: a truly wonderful quality and well documented early 19th century Regency period mahogany 'metamorphic' LIBRARY DESK.

Of stunning design, this apparently "simple" piece features a variety of functions, with its sliding top and rising front which when opened reveal a superb array of drawers; pigeonholes and lidded compartments plus a gilt-tooled morocco leather writing surface raised on an adjustable easel.

It is supported on carved cabriole legs to front and back and beautifully carved lion's paw feet and castors. 44ins (112cms) wide. (For transport this is constructed in two sections with an ingenious system of large knubs to secure the top in place with the lower section)

****This is the actual desk that is illustrated in "Gillows of Lancaster & London" by Susan Stuart. See Volume II; page 381.
