Georgian Four Pedestal Dining Table

Description

Wonderful George III mahogany four pillar dining table attributed to Gillows, in richly grained mahogany, the two ends of “D” shape, the center sections rectangular in shape standing on cannon barrel turned shafts over quadripartite base, the molded cabriole legs on shallow block feet retaining original brass castors, the whole possessing good rich color and patina.
This table is virtually identical to the even larger (9 pillar!) made by Gillows circa 1800 for Hugh Montgomerie, 12th Earl of Eglinton (1739-1819) for Eglington Castle, Ayrshire and now at Dumfries House. Other tables of the same type were supplied by Gillows between 1770-1810.
