Lot Essay

The same patterned foot appears in Gillow's 1811 sketch for a low wardrobe at Tatton Park, Cheshire, for which Dixon also supplied furniture (see N. Goodison and J. Hardy, 'Gillows at Tatton Park', Furniture History, 1970, pls. 10a, 11a and pp. 14, 15).

This chest-of-drawers pattern features in Gillow's 1821 Estimate Sketch Book, and was listed as being executed by John Hanibal (1 October 1821, Westminster City Archive).
