A Regency mahogany console or hall table

A Regency mahogany console or hall table, attributed to Gillows, circa 1815, of large proportions, the shaped top above a sectional frieze divided by patera carved terminals, incorporating two frieze drawers, standing on scroll and acanthus carved supports, terminating in lion paw feet, 95cm high, 306cm wide, 89cm deep
Provenance: Private estate, the Scottish Highlands
For a virtually identical design of patera terminal and leg in all its elements, see an 'elegant sideboard table' illustrated by Susan E. Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London, 1730-1840, Antique Collectors club 2008, Plate 367, page 323. The 'sideboard table' was made by Gillows for Stephen Tempest of Broughton Hall, North Yorkshire in 1813. The sideboard was part of a major commission of dining furniture to be made by Gillows for Broughton Hall. The design for a very similar sideboard table by Gillows for R.O. Gascoigne of Parlington Hall is also illustrated ibid plate 366, page 322. See the underlying design on this page for reference.
