A pair of early 19th century mahogany pedestal cabinets attributed to Gillows Lancaster, each of rectangular form with beaded edge to the top over a full length mahogany veneered beaded door fitted with a turned knob handle, with acanthus moulding to the top left hand hinged corner, over a multi line moulded column with conforming fixed column to the right hand side, the companion cabinet with mouldings and hinges in reverse, each opening to reveal a vacant interior standing on a skirting plinth, 72cm wide, 107.5cm high, 68cm deep NOTE: The cabinets can be confidently attributed to Gillows on the basis of similarities of details with a number of other items supplied by the firm namely the ovoid edge mouldings are similar to that on a sideboard table in Lancaster Town Hall dated to circa 1828-38 which in turn relates to a design in the Estimates Sketch Books in Westminster Archive Centre of 1828 for Thomas Parr the Liverpool merchant (see Stewart, OP. Cit., Vol I, pp.326/7 (the astragal moulded panel doors and acanthus carved double scroll consoles also occur in Gillow work of this time namely the oak bookcases supplied in 1827-1829 to George Wilson of Dallam Tower, Milnthorpe (see also Stewart, Op. Cit., Vol I, pp.378-9). The cabinet also recall those supplied to those supplied to Thomas Langford-Brooke (d.1815) of Mere Hall in Cheshire by Gillows of Lancaster and London in 1815, and sold by Christies as Lot 188 and 189 on 23rd May 1994. The Mere cabinets, though, were more elaborately decorated with oval panels and acanthus spandrels embraced by Acanthus consoles and carved rosettes. With thanks to Gareth J. L.

A Regency mahogany breakfront library bookcase by Gillows, the Greek key cornice with scrolled finials above two pairs of later glazed doors enclosing fixed shelves and flanked by reeded tapering columns, the conforming base with two pairs of cupboard doors with looped reeded outlined mouldings enclosing a total of twelve graduated drawers, some inscribed in chalk `S13237` all fitted with lacquered gilt brass faceted handles, the left hand central cupboard door with a hand written paper label inscribed `The large Bookcase - was the Property of the Sudell Family of Woodfold Park near Blackburn, and was purchased by J. Whittaker - at The great Sale at Woodfold about 1840. It was I believe made by the famous firm of Gillow of Lancaster (Sheraton period). It came into my possession at the death of my mother Mary H. Whittaker in 1871. Edmund J. Wemyss Whittaker Feb. 8. 1918`, 225.3cm high, 233cm wide, 46cm deep. Provenance: This bookcase was commissioned by Henry Sudell in 1805 for his home Woodfold Hall, Mellor, near Blackburn, Lancashire. Henry Sudell was a cotton merchant and manufacturer and at the peak of his fame was reputed to be a millionaire. He married Maria Livesey in 1796 and they moved into Woodfold Hall designed by James Wyatt and built in 1798. The design for the bookcase appears in the Gillows` Estimate Sketch Books for 12th November 1805 (Westminster City Archives, reference 1776) and the records show that Sudell was charged £33, 6s. 4d., and the work took ten weeks. Henry Sudell encountered financial difficulties in the 1820s due to speculating on the American and Continental markets and in 1827 he filed a petition for bankruptcy. The contents of his estate were offered for sale on the 24th December 1827. By family repute the bookcase was almost certainly bought at the sale by Reverend John William Whittaker, an Anglican clergyman. He was appointed as examining chaplain to Charles Manners-Sutton, Archbishop of Canterbury, who granted him the living of Blackburn, Lancashire in 1822 as the Vicar of St. Mary`s. He married Mary Haughton in 1825. It has been passed by descent to the present owner. For an almost identical bookcase, (without the fitted drawers), see Sotheby`s, Important English Furniture, London, 22nd November 2006, lot 119 and a closely related bookcase was sold Bonhams, Fine English Furniture & Works of Art including the Bracewell Collection, 16th July 2008, lot 150
