Lot Essay

In 1823 Gillows supplied a closely comparable hatstand to Thomas John Wynn (d. 1832), 2nd Baron Newborough, for Glynllifon, Caernarvonshire, Wales, which was sold in these Rooms, 9 March 2000, lot 108. The 'double hatstand' was invoiced to Lord Newborough by Gillows in June 1823 at a cost of £18.10.0.
A similar coat and stick stand, of approximately the same dimensions was offered anonymously, Sotheby's London, 4 June 1999, lot 236.
