Charles Bevan for Marsh & Jones. A Small Walnut Writing Table on Turned Supports

About the Item

Charles Bevan. Probably made by Gillows of Lancaster. A small good quality Walnut Writing Table with a molded edge and a Burr Walnut top surrounded by an ebonized line detail with dot details to each corner with a single drawer below. The turned Corinthian column style uprights with circular and inlaid dot details. The base with a square fielded panel and through tenons with pegged details and incised trefoil dot and line decoration, stood on arched feet united by a floor stretcher with through tenons, and pegged details. The last three images are of a library table with a Marsh and Jones paper label in the same style as this Walnut writing table. Bevan worked alongside a number of furniture manufacturers including the names Gillows, Holland & Sons, J.P Seddon, and Marsh & Jones of Leeds, later reinvented as Marsh, Jones & Cribb of Leeds. His association with Marsh & Jones lead to the production of an extensive collection of pieces for Sir Titus Salt, a Yorkshire-based mill owner, for his home; hence the preservation of so much of his work from the years 1865-72. In collections can be found an elaborate Medieval style bedroom suite and a marquetry grand piano. These pieces are currently housed in Leeds City Art Galleries, Temple Newsam House.
