Description

An antique William IV (1830–1837) rosewood carved open bookcase, with a Carrara marble top, attributed to Gillows.

The bookcase has projecting rounded (canted) corners, giving it a strong and elegant profile. The top is an impressive 30 mm thick white Carrara marble, with contrasting dark veining.

The adjustable shelves are fitted with tooled leather linings traditionally used to help protect books from dust settling on the upper edges.

The frieze is finely carved, and the piece features boldly carved corbels terminating above distinctive paw feet.

Gillows of Lancaster
Established in the early 18th century, Gillows of Lancaster earned a reputation as one of Britain’s foremost cabinet-making firms. Renowned for their innovation, use of fine materials, and meticulous workmanship, they supplied commissions to many of the country’s grand houses. Their designs influenced the course of English furniture across the Georgian, Regency, and Victorian periods. Pieces in the manner of Gillows continue to be admired for their elegance, quality, and enduring appeal.
