Lot Essay

This pot cupboard is of the same model as five pairs supplied by Gillows in 1812 for Tatton Park, Cheshire, and each described as 'a pair of Mahogany round front Pott Cupboards, turned Reeded legs....6.6.0'. The earliest sketch of this model is in Gillows 1806 Estimate Sketch Book, p. 1782 (City of Westminster Archive Centre). Five pairs were ordered in 1810 and supplied to Richard Gascoigne of Parlington Hall, Yorkshire (S. Bourne, 'Gillow Furniture from Parlington Hall', Leeds Art Calendar, 1973, pp. 14-20, fig. 1).
