Lot Essay

This elegant piece of furniture is possibly by the cabinet maker 'Bowen' of Lamas St, Carmarthen, Wales 'cabinet maker and upholsterer' (d. 1807) of whom little is known besides the information from a surviving trade label and the notice of Bowen's demise published in 1807, see BIFMO (British & Irish Furniture Makers Online).
