Lot Essay

The firm of Williamson in Guildford are recorded from 1790 to 1840. Their stamp is recorded on such a variety of late Georgian and Regency furniture that it is now thought that they were at least partly dealers in earlier pieces as well as cabinet-makers (see: The Dictionary of English Furniture Makers, Leeds, 1986, p. 983)
