Description
chest-of-drawers with turned and reeded pilasters to each end of the three graduated drawers; four ring-turned feet, brass handles and keyhole escutcheons.
The three locks all bear GR cyphers (see other below). The chest is edged with ebony stringing and ebony cockbeading to the drawers.
The "broken over" treatment on the top at the column tops and the reeded pilasters are suggestive of the firm Gillows of Lancaster and London. possibly Sheraton Style 1790-1800 transition piece because of the Columns that were part of the Classical revival.
