A pair of George IV carved mahogany stools , circa 1825, attributed to Gillows of Lancaster, each needlework covered seat depicting three roses above the plain freeze on profusely acanthus carved scroll legs, on concealed brass casters, the underside of each central stretcher stamped H H to each end, 46cm high, 128cm wide, 56cm deep Provenance; Latimer House, Buckinghamshire The underlying rail of one stool is incised with numerals I & II , and the the other V & VI . This would imply that they were part of a longer set of stools. A sale of some of the contents of Latimer House was held by the 4th Lord Chesham at Sothebys on 30th Nov. 1945, however it has not been proven to date that any other stools from the set were offered on that date. The design of these stools relates to the Wentworth Woodhouse giltwood suite supplied by Gillows in 1832 to the 4th Earl Fitzwilliam (also stamped HH . See Susan E. Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London 1730-1840, Antique Collectors Club, 2008, page 243 (vol. II). The legs of the stools also relate to an earlier pier table, ibid, page 85, plates 630 and 631(vol. II) For other comparisons see pages 227, 229, 291, 321(vol.I). In further support of these stools having been made in Gillows workshop, the stretcher rails of both lots are stamped H H twice. According to Susan Stuart s book (page 244, vol.II) H H is one of the most common initial stamps on Gillow s chairs made during the first half of the 19th century. One set of twenty four chairs sold at Mere Hall, Cheshire (Christie s 23.5.1994) were inscribed with the firms name and in particular one chair inscribed H Howard W Yates Brook/ Mere in addition to the H H stamp suggest that HH could be Henry Howard, however Henry Holmes is said to be a better candidate as he was a known. It is possible that these stools were made for the remodelling of Burlington House in the early 19th century by the 1st Earl of Burlington. His son, the 1st Lord Chesham, moved out of Burlington
