Recent Acquisitions – March 2011

We’re pleased to share a few recent acquisitions and featured items. Of particular note is the exquisite pair of George III period gilt and satinwood pier tables- of fine quality, and of unusually large size. The detail, skill in execution, and fine timber quality all suggest an attribution to an excellent maker, probably Gillows of Lancaster. Although in their original incarnation, these pieces would doubtless have been paired with equally impressive mirrors, we find clients these days frequently use pier tables to place beneath important artwork, with such a juxtaposition contributing status to both the pier tables- and the artwork. Please take a look at all the items featured and, while you are at it, browse our site for a complete list of what we have in stock. Don’t see what you are after? Please ask- special requests are what we live for!
