This bookcase's reeded pilasters, with acanthus-wrapped trusses and rose-flowered tablets, reflects the antique fashion introduced around 1810 by the cabinet-making firm of Gillows of London and Lancaster. Related library furniture was supplied under the guidance of the architect Lewis Wyatt (d. 1853) by Gillows for the Library at Tatton Park, Cheshire. Similar library furnishings were also supplied by Gillows to neighbouring Mere Hall in 1815 (see Christie's house sale, Mere Hall, 23 May 1994, lots 188-192). The general form is typical of the firm's manufacture at this period, and relates to their 'low wardrobes' supplied for bedroom apartments. See Susan E. Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London 1730-1840, Woodbridge, 2008, vol.I, p.384, pl.459 for a related 1836 design for a goncalo alves commode.

A closely related bookcase was sold anonymously in these rooms 17 May 2017, lot 48 (£35,000 including premium).
