Lot 1502
A George III Mahogany Cellaret on Stand, by Gillows, circa 1790, the hinged domed lid crossbanded in tulipwood within boxwood strung lines, enclosing a compartmentalised interior, with original brass carrying handles, stamped Gillows Lancaster, the lock by J Bramah, the stand of fluted form with flowerheads at each corner, on plain brass cappings and castors, 59.5cm by 46cm by 78cm The stand formerly reduced in height, but now raised to its original dimensions using the 1788 Gillows sketch and 18th century mahogany; the interior compartments re-arranged but retaining the original timbers. From 1789/90 until the mid 1790`s Gillows used two blocks, such as used on the present cellaret, to make the stamp GILLOWS LANCASTER, which narrows its date of manufacture to c. 1790 - 1795. This drawing of the cellaret is retained in the Gillow Archives housed by the City of Westminster Archives Centre, volume 344, number 94, pages 238-239, published in 1787-1788. It is described as a Guardevine with trunk to hold 9 bottles, with a loose frame, rail flutes and taper legs with lid. The estimated costs are given as follows: Feb 14th 1788 - a Guardevine with trunk lid; 8 ft of ¾ inch mahogany and birch vin[ee]r - 10s 9d; 2½ ft of 1 inch mahogany - 4s 4½d; 2 ft of ¼ inch mahogany the same - 2 s 2d; 1 ft of 1 inch ditto the legs - 10½d; 2? ft of ½ inch ditto the bottom - 1s 1¾d; 1 pair of stop hinges - 1s 0d; 1 lock and escutcheon - 1s 5d; 1 pair of lifting handles - 2s 2d; 1 sett of sockett castors ? inch - 2s 6d; 1 small cock - 5½d; 3 dozen of ¾ inch and ½ inch screws - 4d; 17 pound of lead at 3d per pound - 4s 3d; Lining ditto Mr Stewart - 5s 9d; Making ditto Henry Walling, Compute - 19s 6d; Rails fluted & carved rows per Mr Gibson - 4 s 9d; Total cost: £3 1s 3½d. Henry Walling was apprenticed for 7 years from 5.3.1770 to Henry Baines and William Bruce, cabinet makers of Lancaster. He became a freeman in 1779-1780. In 1785, with 32 other workmen, he signed the Gillow wage agreement. His work is recorded at Gillows from c. 1785-1796. Henry Gibson (1736-1797) was apprenticed to Christopher Walker, joiner and cabinetmaker of Lancaster, from 10.6.1753. He probably began working for Robert Gillow & Son on completing his apprenticeship. He was described by Richard Gillow in December 1789 as their best carver. Note on Joseph Bramah: Originally a cabinet maker, Joseph Bramah (1748-1814) patented a lock in 1784 which, due to its complex design, remaining unpicked for more than 50 years. As such it was a popular choice for pieces of furniture which held valuables, such as fine wine. Note on Gillows: Gillows and the furniture they made are renowned for several reasons. First, the quality of construction is considerably higher than that of the majority of contemporary cabinet-making firms. Second, with the firm`s proximity to the port of Liverpool and the trading links to the West Indies, the firm was actively (and very profitably) engaged in the importation of not only top quality mahogany, satinwood and other timbers, but also in the sale of British goods to Jamaica and the importation of other West Indian produce for sale in Britain. Third, the innovation of their designs and the preservation of the designs` uniqueness were highly important to the success of the business. If a pattern book was published, its designs were anyone`s (a problem often encountered when attempting to attribute furniture without a secure provenance to Thomas Chippendale). Because Gillows never published their designs, they were always striving for novelty and protecting their patterns from industrial espionage. Gillows` sober and restrained designs, the exceptionally high quality of timber and workmanship, and the exclusivity of their patterns have contrived to create in Gillows the quintessential English cabinet-making firm of the late 18th and 19th century. Good colour and condition throughout. Top with very minor bruising, all consistent with age. Very fine natural split on brackets and stand. Rejoined (as full catalogued). Small bruising around legs, fluted frieze and moulding consistent with age. 080313

A George II Mourning Ring, set with three white stones (one diamond, two paste), to a shank with the inscription `R. WEEKSY OB 3 JULY 1733 AE 77`, finger size P The ring is in fair condition. The white stones which are not diamond are very scuffed. They appear to be foil backed, and the foil is worn. The shank looks like it was originally enamelled in black, and this is quite worn. The ring bears no hallmark, nor stamp, but in our opinion it would test as gold. Gross weight 3.8 grams. CR made 11th December 2012
