Restored Gothic Revival Desk Side Bookcases Drawer Writing Slope Pugin Gillows
By Gillows of Lancaster & London, Pugin
Located in West Sussex, Pulborough
We are delighted to offer for sale this exceptionally rare Gothic Revival circa 1840 solid oak partner desk with top drawer writing slope and side bookcases made by either Gillows of Lancaster or Pugin

Lastly there was various small timber repairs which have been done with antique timber...
