Note du spécialiste

John Miller is listed in S. Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London 1730-1840, London, 2008, vol. II, p. 264, as apprenticed to Gillows in 1815 and still on the payroll in 1835.

An almost identical dressing table made by the craftsman James Whiteside is shown in Gillows' Estimate Sketch Books, folio no. 3312, dated December 30, 1823.
