Royal House Antiques
Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this exceedingly rare circa 1780 Georgian Bachelors Chest of Drawers with baize lined slip writing desk top and slope and second level stationary or wash station made in the Military Campaign style and attributed to Gillow's of Lancaster & London
Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only for the UK and local Europe only for international, if you would like an accurate quote, please send me your postcode and I’ll provide you with the exact price.
A rare find, looking through Gillow's of Lancaster and London 1730-1840 I've found a selection of similar examples, the drawer linings and dovetail joints are correct, as is the bachelors drawer, this is a very finely made example
The timber is correct for the period, Cuban or Havana Mahogany, Adam Bowett has pointed out that Cuban Mahogany was first bought into England after the capture of Havana in 1762 and during the subsequent British occupation.
This is a very useable and utilitarian piece, it can sit in a bedroom as a traditional chest of drawers or in a study as a work station, the first level of the top drawer has a baize-lined slip writing table which has a height-adjustable reading slope, the section is for travel trinkets such as stationary and washing accessories, there is an original plate glass Georgian shaving mirror which has a patina to die for
This piece has been left totally original, we have cleaned waxed, and polished it but that's it, it hasn't been to my cabinet maker to have the little side piece of timber replaced and it hasn't had the original finish removed, I thought it best to allow the new owner to decide what level of restoration they wished to take it to

Gillows of Lancaster and London, also known as Gillow & Co., was an English furniture making firm based in Lancaster, Lancashire, and in London. It was founded around in Lancaster in about 1730 by Robert Gillow (1704–1772)
Gillows was owned by the family until 1814 when it was taken over by Redmayne, Whiteside, and Ferguson; they continued to use the Gillow name.
Gillows furniture was a byword for quality, and other designers used Gillows to manufacture their furniture.
Gillows furniture is referred to by Jane Austen, Thackeray and the first Lord Lytton, and in one of Gilbert and Sullivan's comic operas.
In 1903 Gillows merged with Warings of Liverpool to become Waring and Gillow and although the furniture remained of a high quality it was not as prestigious.
Any questions please feel free to ask before you bid.
