Lot Essay

This bedroom-apartment table, with reeded turned legs in Gillows' Grecian manner, is designed en suite with the dressing-tables, lots 146-7. It is possible that it also was originally fitted with a dressing-table gallery like a table designed for a window-pier in Gillow's bedroom scheme of the 1820s preserved at the Victoria and Albert Museum (see: F. Collard, Regency Furniture, Woodbridge, 1985, p. 314)
