EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a stunning Late Victorian cabinet-on-stand crafted by the renowned Gillow & Co. Lancaster, possibly under the design expertise of Stephen Webb, around 1900. The exquisite piece is made from rosewood and features intricate ivory inlay and marquetry work. The cabinet's rectangular dentilled moulded cornice adds an elegant touch to its overall design. A panelled frieze adorned with scrolling foliage sits just below it, creating a visually appealing contrast. The central door is the highlight of this masterpiece, showcasing delicate chimerae flanking a blooming basket surrounded by scrolling foliage and birds perched on cornucopiae. Flanked by shell-headed niches divided by Ionic-headed pilasters carved with putto heads, this cabinet exudes opulence and sophistication. Its interior boasts a velvet-lined turquoise backdrop with a single shelf for storage purposes. Additionally, there is a mahogany-lined drawer that complements the overall aesthetic. The stand itself features an inverse breakfront shelf with a molded edge and two mahogany-lined frieze drawers above it. A foliate-carved waved apron centered by a putto head enhances its beauty further. Fluted Tuscan columns support the structure above a stepped molded plinth, completing this remarkable piece. Standing at an impressive height of 69 inches (175.5 cm), measuring 52 inches (133.5 cm) wide and 18 inches (45.5 cm) deep, this Gillow & Co. 's creation truly exemplifies craftsmanship at its finest during the late Victorian era.
