A very good looking, highly collectable and well made table. These were designed as book tables for your favourite author to be displayed, the main shelf rotates, its rare to find it in Amboyna and Ebony, it is most certainly made by Gillows as they are famous for this type of furniture, I usually have one or two pieces of this type listed that are stamped Gillows, the odd desk or side table but never a book table all in the Aesthetic Movement taste and in Amboyna and Ebony
The table has been lightly restored to include a deep clean, hand condition wax and hand polished, there will be normal age and use related patina marks here and there, the book shelves will have wear on the ends from years of books being taken and put back

- Restored Metamorphic Antique Regency Armchair to Library Steps Gillows LancasterBy Gillows of Lancaster & LondonLocated in GBWe are delighted to offer this very large and collectable fully restored Regency circa 1810-1820 metamorphic armchair which converts into Library steps after the original 18th century design by Gillows of Lancaster. This wonderful piece of English history has been on a journey of restoration, the frame has been washed back and French polished by a Victorian trained polisher, the leather upholstery has been stripped back, hand dyed six times, antiqued and sealed, it has a lovely rich reddish brown colour to it. This chair is larger than any other of its type you would have seen, it is a important and extremely expensive looking thing that commands attention in any setting. The original made by Gillows can currently be viewed in the Victorian & Albert museum, below is an extra from their listing. The period 1800-1825 was a great one for ‘patent’ or ‘metamorphic’ furniture This chair, which transforms into a short set of steps for use with bookshelves, is close to a design for a ‘Library Chair’ published in Rudolph Ackermann’s Repository of the Arts in July 1811, which was made by the London firm of Morgan and Saunders, of Catherine Street, Strand. They were well known for their ingenious furniture, including reading chairs with writing surfaces attached and a great variety of travelling beds...Category
