A PAIR OF REGENCY BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD TRIPOD STANDS OR WINE TABLES
Lot 134 A GROUP OF ROSEWOOD FURNITURE ATTRIBUTED TO GILLOWS
(LOTS 134, 135, 136, 140 & 142)

This small but distinctive group of boldly drawn rosewood furniture can be firmly attributed to the acclaimed cabinet makers Gillows of Lancaster, sharing various constructional and stylistic features with their known oeuvre and with some of the following lots being acknowledged models amongst the output of the firm, notably the tripod stands. The robust design of this furniture, combined with the superb carving executed in the finest rosewood bears modest comparison with the celebrated library furniture supplied by Gillows to William, 2nd Baron Bolton (1782-1850) for Hackwood Park, sold Christie's House Sale, 20-22 April 1998, lots 20-23.
