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.

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.
