A Fine Set of George III Three Drawer Nightstands W Priest Blackfriars 1790-1850

About the Item

A Fine and Rare Set of Late George III Three Drawer Mahogany Nightstands Stamped "W. Priest, 1 & 2 Tudor Street, Blackfriars, London" Drawers are complimented with their original and unusual ebony coloured hand turned handles. According to reference the Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture 1700 - 1840 by C. Gilbert William Priest has been noted as a retailer of other makers furniture as well as his own. The quality of cabinet craftsmanship is very much akin to the furniture greats of Gillows & Co. Labels and stamps bearing the address 1 and 2 Tudor St, Blackfriars are not infrequently found. The date of the furniture so marked ranges from c.1790 to the mid-Victorian period. The labels bearing the Tudor St address describe the business as a ‘Furniture Warehouse’ and it is probable that Priest was selling second-hand items which he marked before disposal. Stamped examples are illustrated in Gilbert (1996), figs 742-754. They show that, as his label suggests, he specialised in office and library furnishings but he also retailed ordinary domestic furnishings. The Soane museum has a mahogany desk probably purchased by George Bailey, first curator of the Soane Museum, bearing Priests’s label and giving the Water Street addresses (illus. Dorey, Furniture History (2008), fig 115.
