Lot Essay

Gillows of Lancaster illustrate an identical "Mahogany glass with a box fit up for dressing for plate 22 x 18" in their Estimate Sketch Books, folio 3001, dated 18th December 1818. This innovative design must have been produced in very small quantities; nothing like it appears elsewhere in the Sketch Books.
