A good mid Victorian satinwood and mahogany crossbanded Carlton House desk attributed to GillowsInlaid with ebonised lines, the curved superstructure with pierced gilt brass gallery, with two letter slots above two end drawers, two curved doors and six short drawers; above a tooled leather writing surface with ratchet, above three frieze drawers, on square tapering legs with brass cappings and castors, 140cm wide, 84cm deep, 103cm high.The first published design of a desk of this type was one illustrated in Hepplewhite & Co., The Cabinet Maker's London Book of Prices, 2nd ed., 1793, pl. 21. The pattern became associated with Carlton House, the residence of the Prince Regent, later King George IV, after Rudolph Ackermann illustrated a writing-table of this design in 1814, claiming that it was called a Carlton House desk 'from having been first made for the august personage whose correct taste has so classically embellished that beautiful palace' (see H. Roberts, 'The First Carlton House Table?', Furniture History, XXXI, 1995, pp. 124-128).Gillow produced a design for a 'Writing-table' of similar form from 1798 (see L. Boynton, Gillows Furniture Designs 1760-1800, Royston, 1995, fig. 50).
