Lot Essay

Williams & Gibton, active between 1830 and 1844, evolved from the earlier Dublin firm of Mack, Williams and Gibton, of 39, Stafford Street, Dublin, who were recorded as 'Upholders to ... His Majesty's Board of Work'. Some early pieces exist with a trade label of Mack, Williams and Gibton including a Regency rosewood lyre-supported writing-table, illustrated in Claxton-Stevens and Whittington, Eighteenth Century English Furniture in the Norman Adams Collection, London, 1983, p. 169. Stamped furniture of a slightly later date is less rare (The Knight of Glin, 'Dublin Directories and Trade Labels', Furniture History, 1985, p. 270).
