In August 1822 the regiment left Bombay for England after nearly 22 years abroad. It is worth mentioning that The 3rd. Mahratta War medal for the capture of Poona awarded to Lt. Col. Samuel Robinson Warren of the 65th Foot was sold at Dix, Noonan & Webb in 2005. He was commissioned Ensign in 1808 and was almost immediately posted to the Persian Gulf. At the date of this box he was a Lieutenant, promoted Captain in 1823. Given that his rank on the inscription is given as Lieutenant Colonel, the presentation to the regiment must have been later in his career.

A Regency rosewood work table attributed to Gillow and retailed by Mary Wilson, LondonThe rectangular top above a frieze drawer with divisions, on moulded stile end supports joined by a turned stretcher, on scroll decorated block supports and lions paw feet with concealed castors, the original sliding workbox removed but present and with a removable later baize lined slide, 66cm wide, 43cm deep, 72.5cm high.Thomas Wilson is recorded as a furniture broker and appraiser (1821-1829) and is probably the same Thomas Wilson recorded as an auctioneer at 28 Great Queen Street (1799-1825). It is thought that Wilson was a dealer in second hand furniture who used his stamp as a mean of identification and it has been been found on pieces also stamped by the firm of Gillows as well as pieces with a clear 18th century origin. One labelled piece has been recorded and suggests that the firm may well have had a cabinet making division. The business was continued by Mary Wilson after Thomas' death in 1838.NB: Requires a CITES license if exported outside the EU
