A Regency mahogany chamber writing table, by Gillows, circa 1815, the rectangular top incorporating hinged flap to the rear edge opening to reveal a fitted interior with a pen tray and a pair of ink pots, above a solid mahogany lined frieze drawer, the underside of the drawer signed in pencil by Gillows workman 'John Bateman, Lancaster', the reeded turned tapering legs, terminating in brass caps and castors, the drawer stamped 'GILLOWS LANCASTER', 74cm high, 73cm wide, 52cm deep For an identical model of table see Christie's London, Important English Furniture, 14th June 2001, Lot 177 (£15,275) A sketch for this type of table appears in Gillows Estimate Sketch Books, dated 1810. Gillows supplied four tables of this pattern in 1811 to T.W. Egerton for Tatton Park, Cheshire. John Bateman (signature to drawer) is listed as working for Gillows and recorded as becoming a freeman in 1825-26. Bateman is listed as an upholsterer but this evidence suggests he must have had some part to play in the making of this table.
