A George IV Gillows of Lancaster and London, exhibiting the finest form, condition, and workmanship of the period. The open upper section is surrounded by a gallery of turned columns with fluted bases, above beaded recessed panels, and a single drawer.
The two-drawer pulls echo the same design as the lobed finials, which appear on the corner posts, terminating in carved acanthus feet, covering the original lacquered brass casters.
A single drawer provides further storage, which make this example exceptional in every way. A small statement piece of exceptional proportions and detail elevate this example far above the field in every way.
A similar example sold at Christies Style and Spirit sale on May 5th, 2011, lot 262.
