A fine pair of Regency mahogany armorial hall chairs attributed Gillows

About the Item

A fine pair of Regency mahogany armorial hall chairs attributed Gillows, each with an ogee back supported on C-scrolls and circular dished seat raised on turned and reeded outswept front legs, the rectangular section back legs joined by a shaped stretcher, richly carved with the Homan family crest comprising a lion’s head surmounted by a large hat, all surrounded by fleshy acanthus scrolls. English, circa 1815. Footnote: Sir William Jackson Homan, 1st Baronet (1771 – 1852), was an Irish baronet. He married Lady Charlotte Stuart, daughter of John Stuart, 1st Marquess of Bute, in 1797 and was created Baronet of Dunlum, Country Westmeath in 1801. Homan and his family lived in Dromana, one of the Marquis of Bute’s many residences, where he acted as agent for his brother in law Lord Henry Stuart and, eventually, the latter’s son Henry until 1847. When he died without heir, his only son having predeceased him, the title lapsed.

Fine Pair of George III Mahogany Wine Cisterns Attributed to Gillows
By Gillows of Lancaster & London
Located in Lymington, Hampshire
Each cistern is in the form of a fluted vase on a rectangular pedestal. The lead-lined vases have brass handles, removable lids with pineapple finials and taps. The crossbanded pedestals have cupboard doors enclosing slatted shelves for warming plates in one and a lead-lined slops drawers, a tambour fronted shelf and a cellaret in the other. Susan Stuart, 'Gillow of Lancaster and London', 2008 vol 1 p308-315 illustrates many pedestal urns including the drawings for Workington Hall, Cumbria, dated 1788. PLates 342 and 343 show pedestals with a similar arrangement of shelves and drawers. Thomas Sheraton explained the functions of dining room pedestals in his 'Drawing Book' of 1793: 'IN spacious dining rooms the sideboards are often made without drawers of any sort, having simply a rail, a little ornament...
