Fine Waring & Gillows Mahogany Roll Top Desk
Here we have what is almost un-doubtably a one off piece of antique furniture made by WARING & GILLOWS of LANCASTER. It was part of a suite of boardroom furniture manufactured by Waring and Gillows for the boardroom of EAST BROTHERS Ltd of 127 SOUTH ROAD, DUNDEE who were cabinet and furniture makers from the mid 19th century to the mid 20th century.
This large and very impressive desk has been manufactured from the very best mahogany. The drawers all being veneered in flame mahogany, cock beaded and with polished mahogany drawer linings. The roll top front has been quarter veneered in flame mahogany with carved decoration to the corners. There is a very nice carved moulding to the middle of the desk. The pedestals stand on bracket feet all round. The ends, inner ends and back are all mahogany panelled so the desk could be free standing.
The interior is fitted with drawers, pigeon holes and a central cupboard. There is also a pull out writing section with three leather panels, the middle one is adjustable via a ratchet beneath.
The piece is in exceptionally good condition and is of the very best of quality manufacture. We have provided photographic evidence of its providence, the picture photographed is an original watercolour of the full suite provided by Waring and Gillows and we have a picture of the original sales label on the back which we can e-mail upon request showing the date and the sales person. The picture is not included as the clients the desk was purchased from wish to keep it with the rest of the suite which they still own. The name of Thomas and Wilkie on the label is the firm of Dundee Architects who carried out the work on the office for East Brothers at the time.
SIZE 54" wide by 31" from front to back by 45" high overall.
