Item Description

A rare gilt music stool attributed to Gillows. Raised on scaly claw and ball feet with acanthus carved knees supporting a carved and reeded column. The seat revolves and is height adjustable by means of a threaded steel screw and retains its original horse hair upholstery with roll stitched edge. The stool is a very rare item which retains some of its original gilding. 510mm high (at its lowest setting) the seat is 330mm square and the feet have a 410mm diameter. English. Circa 1835.

N.B. A pair of tables by Gillows with identical feet are illustrated in Susan E Stuarts two volume books " Gillows of Lancaster and London 1730-1840" Volume I, page 263, plate 267.
