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.
