A rare and attractive piece of Antique
Arts and Crafts furniture stamped Gillows on the middle drawer and
on the locks. The sideboard is of very high quality being made of
quarter cut solid oak.
The quarter cutting of oak produces
a very decorative figuring known as ‘medullary rays’. The
sideboard has a raised decorative back with turned finials, an undulating
frieze to the front and side and stands on 8 turned legs with small
pad feet.
There is a deep central drawer stamped
‘Gillows’ and a cupboard on each side with locks marked
‘Gillows Lancaster’. The left hand cupboard has a drawer
beneath and the right side has a dummy drawer and integral 6 division
sliding bottle rack.
The drawer linings are of solid oak
and of dovetail construction. It has copper oxidized handles of classic
Arts & Crafts design.
The sideboard is in excellent original
condition. Like many manufacturers their designers remained anonymous.
