Description:

A FINE VICTORIAN ROSEWOOD AND BURR MAPLE WRITING TABLE ATTRIBUTED TO GILLOW & Co.
English, third quarter nineteenth century

In Louis XV manner, the kidney-shaped top with a finely moulded edge and lined with gilt-tooled leather above the serpentine frieze with a drawer to the concave side, on cabriole supports with gilt bronze mounts to the top and foot of each
73.5cm high, 115cm wide, 66cm deep

OTHER NOTES:
An English table in French style (the drawer fitted with Nettlefolds patent lock by Aubin) of a type made by Gillow & Co. through the mid-Victorian period. The particularly high quality of construction and woods, including in secondary areas such as the finely-finished drawer linings, indicates manufacture by that firm.

  • Condition: Very well presented throughout, evidently previously repolished.

    The leather to the top, which might be original, has various minor scratches and marks. There is a small repair to the veneer at the lower right corner of the drawer front, but so small and well enough executed to be not conspicuous at normal viewing.

    One key is present and the lock works well.
