Lot 645
Gillow & Co., Lancaster and London - Fine Victorian burr walnut and inlaid kidney-shaped pedestal desk by Gillow and Co., Lancaster and London, the shaped top inset with a three-section red and gilt tooled green leather writing surface, above a frieze drawer flanked by two banks of five graduated drawers fitted patinated bronze cast rocaille handles, with hinged upright stiles fitted Bramah locks, the reverse unusually fitted with shaped panel door enclosing four tiers of five pigeon holes, on a moulded plinth base with concealed castors, stamped to the central drawer GILLOW & CO 169. The locks throughout are stamped J Bramah 124 Piccadilly and are with keys, 131cm wide x 74cm high x 66cm deep.Footnote: Although this form of desk has been ascribed to a design published by Thomas Sheraton in The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing Book, London 1802, pl.58, it actually first appeared as a Gillow design a decade earlier in 1792 (Estimate Sketch Book 344/96, p. 896, September 1792. It was generally commercially produced by Gillow circa 1840-60 and references a second design in the Gillow Estimate Sketch book (1840) for An Oak Pedestal and Kidney Table supplied to Ferguson & Co.This elegant desk was commissioned by William Gibbs, at the time the wealthiest commoner in the country, for 16 Hyde Park Gardens in London. History remembers Gibbs and his wife Matilda Blanche as the aggrandisers of Tyntesfield, the lavish Gothic Revival country house near Clevedon, now in the care of the National Trust. However, the couples’ principal residence was always their house in London, with Tyntesfield used more as a country retreat. The family moved from Hyde Park Street to Gloucester Place in 1849, and to the more substantial Hyde Park Gardens in 1851. This large house, in one of the capital’s most fashionable areas, was arranged over five floors with a fine sequence of rooms on the first floor, enjoying views of Hyde Park and glimpses of Paxton’s recently completed Crystal Palace.In 1854 the Gibbs sought the advice of John Gregory Crace (1809-89) over the redecoration of Hyde Park Gardens. The firm of Crace & Sons were the pre-eminent decorators of the 19th century. At the time of his commission from Gibbs, J G Crace’s most recent clients had included the Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth and, most famously, the interior of the rebuilt Palace of Westminster, which the firm had undertaken in partnership with A W N Pugin. The success of Crace’s work at Hyde Park Gardens led directly to Gibbs commissioning him to undertake the remodelling of the principal interiors of his country seat at Tyntesfield, where Crace’s work has been described as beginning a process by which the house was “reinvented as one of the foremost examples of Victorian Gothic design”. Crace’s success stemmed from his skill at re-interpreting historic styles, together with his mastery of surface decoration, talents which chimed perfectly with mid-19th century fashion. With this in mind, the inlaid decoration on this desk is noteworthy. Most known examples of this model do not incorporate such complex decorative inlay – relying instead on the richness of the wood alone. It is highly likely that this detail was introduced to harmonise with J G Crace’s interior. Gillow’s enjoyed significant patronage from William Gibbs, as the discovery by the National Trust of a magnificent ‘Jacobethan’ table in the cellars at Tyntesfield has shown. This desk deserves to be seen in the context of the Gibbs’ role as significant patrons of the Victorian era as well as a testament to the extraordinary quality of Gillow craftsmanship. As a footnote, when surveying the desk for this auction, two small Victorian copper nameplates for William and Matilda Blanche were found secreted behind the central frieze drawer, in pristine condition having almost certainly remained undisturbed for over a century. A charming discovery which underlines the intimate character of this outstanding piece of furniture.Condition report: It appears that no work or alterations have been applied to the desk since its purchase from the Tyntesfield auction in 1945. However please refer to the additional multiple images. The top leather has stains and damage suggesting that it is original. There are sections of moulding missing to the edge of the top and to rear pilasters. All locks are original and have keys. Sections of veneer missing to plinth. Condition consistent with age.
