\nWe are delighted to offer for sale this stunning and exceptionally rare 1794 George III Gillows Lancaster twin pedestal double sided postmasters desk in paneled mahogany I have never seen another with this particular type of drawer and cupboard formation, to the front you have two full length cupboard doors both with working locks and one middle drawer, open either cupboard door and you find four perfectly fitted drawers, to the rear you have three rather hidden cupboards, the only sign that they have anything inside is the locks, all of which have the original keys. The left and right cupboards have postmasters pigeon holes, they cover the full alphabet, the central cupboard has one single drawer and vertical file dividers. The leather top is original with a very ornate embossing around the trim of the like and quality again, I have never seen This is an exceptionally rare example of an even rarer model desk made in the later part of the 18th century by one of the finest if not the finest furnisher in English history, Gillow’s of Lancaster and London I’ll include a short biography below on Gillows for those who aren’t fine furniture connoisseurs. This desk has the correct J Bramha 14 Piccadilly stamped locks under the crown, referenced to Gillows Of Lancaster and London 1730-1840 Volume II page 337. The desk is made from golden mahogany which has a wonderful patina throughout, it looks truly exquisite. Each side is fitted with very Regal bronze Lions heads holding rings in their mouths In terms of the condition we have cleaned waxed and polished it, everything works absolutely perfectly, I have most of the original keys with one replacement, the middle drawer doesn’t have a key. The desk has normal patina marks all over from genuine age and honest use Dimensions Height 75.5 cm Width 115 cm Depth 96 cm Leg room Height 62 cm Width 40 cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point. Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
