Aesthetic Movement Burr Walnut Ebonised Dining Table from Gillow & Co, 1850s

We are delighted to offer this very rare circa 1852-1857 Gillow & Co Lancaster attributed burr walnut and ebonished wood occasional or dining table A very rare and well made piece, firmly attributed to the great firm of Gillows, I’ve had this exact same table before as a side table. It dates to the mid 1850s The table is totally original and the only one of this size I found which is fantastic, these are usually centre or occasional table size which can also be used as a dining table, given the wear I think that’s exactly what this has been used for We have cleaned waxed and polished it from top to bottom, there are lots of marks, small losses and patina marks all over especially around the legs, fully restored to gallery condition.
