A Very Fine Early 19th Century Side or Lamp Flip Top Table after Gillows

About the Item

A very fine early 19th Century richly patinated mahogany side or lamp table in the manner of Gillows, stunningly hand carved and of exceptional quality. The well figured moulded hinged top of rectangular form is fitted with a tilting mechanism that allows its top to be positioned in upright orientation. Raised over a beautifully carved, ring turned, fluted column support above quatrefoil base with elegantly tapering splayed legs, terminating on pad foot. Gillows of Lancaster and London Gillows were renowned for making some of the finest mahogany furniture in England in the early 18th century. Based originally in Lancashire they opened a branch in Oxford Street, London in 1769 and quickly established a thriving business. The company had dealings with the West Indies and the imported mahogany which allowed them to produce items made of the best timber. As well as a broad metropolitan client base Gillows was also successful in supplying a great amount of furniture to a variety of northern country houses such as a considerable commission in Cheshire for the Marquess (later Duke) of Westminster at Eaton Hall as well as to the Egertons at Tatton Park. Pieces of Gillow furniture can now be seen in museums in London, Leeds, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Auckland, as well as a collection in the Gillow Museum in the Judges' Lodgings, Lancaster. The furniture can also be seen in houses open to the public such as Tatton Park, Temple Newsam House and Lotherton Hall as part of the decorative arts collections.
