Corner Cub 2
An exceptional exhibition quality Gothic Revival oak corner cupboard designed by Bruce Talbert & almost certainly made by Gillows of Lancaster, its style is more refined & quite early on in his career & quite unlike his heavier more common pieces. The upper section with a turned gallery with a small corner shelf with turned supports from an open display area below & tramline details to the back & sides with a type of castellated dentil moulding below which is identical to his famous Pet sideboard made by Gillows & exhibited in 1872 London International Exhibition & is also identical moulding on his famous 'The Pericles sideboard' exhibited at the 1867 Paris Exhibition where it was a Grand Prix winner & this was made by Holland & Sons. 'The Pericles sideboard' was described by The Art Journal as "certainly the most distinguished amongst competing Gothic works".
Both these Exhibition sideboards are shown in the last 4 images.
This is a very important work of art which probably would have also been exhibited.
Circa late 1860's early 1870's.
Height 71 1/2", Depth from back to front centre 22", Depth from back to front along the sides 21”.
£SOLD.

There is a bevelled glazed door to the upper section with superior quality handle & hinges opening to reveal an adjustable shelf & small open area to the front flanked by 2 small turned galleries with fine nipple points & another full open shelf below with turn supports & panelling to the back.



The central bow fronted cupboard with a sculptured dentil detail & curved doors below set slightly forward with different circular stylised carved floret's to each door typical to Talberts work & conforming handle & hinges & a turned gallery below. There is a wonderful carved detail adjacent to the door hinges which feathers down to a tramline then the sweetest little carved detail just above the ring turnings at the top of each leg. The turned legs adjacent to square legs with conforming tramline details making this a multi leg corner cabinet, a wonderful design detail, the 4 front legs & rear leg uniting the shaped lower shelf with line detail to the front edge.

Corner Cub 3 A superb quality Walnut corner cupboard with Ebony & boxwood inlays designed by Ernest Gimson & Sidney Barnsley. Although this is superb quality I feel it is not quite up to the quality that Gimson & Barnsley were producing at the turn of the century & therefore I feel it is probably later somewhere before the 1920's. There is a photograph of an oak version on page 99, fig 64 of 'Gimson & the Barnsleys' by Mary Greensted (behind the white ladder back chair images attached). That oak version is now displayed at Lotherton Hall Yorkshire.
Height 78 1/2", Depth from back along each side 22".
