Several tables were supplied in 1813 to William Powlett. 2nd Baron Bolton (d.1850), for Hackwood Park, Hampshire, invoiced at £16 16s each. Five similar dressing tables, invoiced at the same price were commissioned from Gillow by T.W.Egerton for Tatton Park, Cheshire (see N. Goodison and J. Hardy. 'Gillows at Tatton Park', Furniture History, 1970 p.35, pls. 18a and 20a) while another in the Judge's Lodgings, Lancaster, is illustrated in Susan E. Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London 1730-1840, 2008, vol. I, p.332. pl.283. The current example is one of the most sophisticated models, having slides, ornate brass handles and a concealed rising mirror.For two closely related examples previously sold see:Christie's, The Executors of the 2nd Viscount Camrose, Hackwood Park, 20-22 April 1998, lot 364 (£47,700).

Y A FRENCH KINGWOOD BREAKFRONT VITRINELATE 19TH/EARLY 20TH CENTURYWith breche violette marble top and gilt metal mounts115cm high, 118cm wide, 43cm deepCondition Report: There are some marks, scratches, knocks, chips, cracks and abrasions consistent with age and use. Repairs to include;repaired breaks to marble top (which has further loss to back corners)Repaired mouldings around marble (old glue evident)Repairs to wooden internal moulding around inside of glass door.Front right leg is darker- possibly a rosewood and looks to be replacement- also true for back right leg but slightly less evident. In both cases mounts look to be original. The front leg looks also to have suffered some damage to wood around leg joint. Rear left leg requires remedial work- looks to have had old repair which has failed. Overall the vitrine is slightly wobbly and will benefit from feet attention throughout.Mounts are fixed with what appear to be matching polished steel screws. Whilst this is not unknow, they do seem slightly larger than would be expected indicating that either it was a slightly clumsier fixing attachment from manufacture- or they have had a bulk replacement. The central goat detailed mount is a rich golden colour- but others to the sides are rubbed and with dirt and verdigris build up. This might suggest the central one has been regilded.Strip moulding mounts are uniformly rubbed with loss to gildingThere is one key- it is a single turn and operates vertical sliding bolt to top and bottom catches. The key action is slightly stiff. Brass section holding bolt has moved slightly- with some marking resulting at contact with main carcase. The door is opening cleanly but looks to have dragged slightly in the past and caused some mild abrasion to the foot area where it slides into. Door and all wide panels are bevelled glass.Back of vitrine is panelledThere is some sign of carcase movement to the veneer around the hingesThere are 2 glass shelves to interior- greener in colour than rest of glass suggesting they may be later. These are on fixed metal pins. The internal base with two later thin mirror plates to the floor. These cover what appears to be original cloth covering. Getting these mirrors out safely will be tricky so we are unable to determine the condition of the cloth. Reverse of interior is lined with mirror- which seems to be generally good albeit some mild shadows to lower left hand.The left hand upper section of the top looks to have shrunk slightly with a small gap visible from the frontLower edge of left side with losses, bruising. Front edge of this side also with a knock to the wood. Please see the additional photographs as a visual reference of condition and which form part of this condition report.
