Lot Essay

The table-pattern corresponds to the furniture supplied by Gillows around 1810 for the Judge's Lodgings in Lancaster. In particular the idiosyncratic turned columns that run all the way to the underside of the table top and cut-cornered panels, and these were characteristic of other furniture produced by the Lancaster firm (see Susan Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London 1730 - 1840, Woodbridge, 2008, vol. I, p.322 -323, pl. 383).
