Fascinatingly appointed sewing table with wonderful William IV craftsmanship
Displaying a desirable aged patina and in good order
Superb stocks show excellent grain interest throughout
Warm caramel hues beam beneath a wax polish finish


Drop leaf top extends usefully, supported by articulated flying arms
Front drawer dressed with circular brass drop handles
Drawer fascia and wool box dressed with inset brass lined locks — untested, key absent
Interior offers a sliding divider tray, which can also be removed if required


Faux drawer fascia to the reverse affords central room placement
Sliding wool box accentuated with silk cotton upholstery in green and champagne hues
Darling pattern with silk cotton flowerheads catch the light beautifully

The whole riding smoothly upon a quartet of concealed castors
Unmarked as such, but of the quality and refinement expected of Gillows
