Gillows Library Writing Table, circa 1835

A C R O T E R I O N is pleased to offer this fine William IV, early Victorian period late regency style solid mahogany double-sided rectangular form library writing table attributed to Gillows, the tooled-edge dark gray leather top inset above long aprons either side with banks of two drawers having original turned knobs raised on boldly turned legs with original brass casters. Tables of this depth are usually 6' or more in length and this one being just under 5' make it a highly desirable and rare size. The double-sided form of this table is commonly, but incorrectly, referred to as a "partners desk" due to its binary arrangement, however by definition a partners desk is of double pedestal design. In addition to its original purpose, it could be chicly used as an unconventional dining table; clearance from floor to bottom edge is 23.88".
