We are delighted to offer for sale this large and collectable lightly restored William IV circa 1830 Flamed Mahogany, metamorphic armchair which converts into Library steps attributed to Gillows of Lancaster and London.

They were well known for their ingenious furniture, including reading chairs with writing surfaces attached and a great variety of travelling beds...
