專家說明

The pattern for this chest of drawers is recorded in Gillows Estimate Sketch books for 1821, the journeyman being John Hanibal. William Barrow Senior, was named on Gillow's payroll in 1835 and also his son William, who was apprenticed to Leonard Redmayne in 1829 and became a freeman in 1837 (see Susan Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London, 2008, vol.II, p.215). A virtually identical chest, signed by Joseph Barrow was offered in these rooms 21 May 2015, lot 168 and another signed by Richard Woodhouse at Bonham's, London, 11 March 2015, lot 156 (£6,000 including premium).
