About the Item

A Fine and Rare Set of English Antique Late George III Three Drawer Mahogany Chest of Drawers 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), 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)
