ST 4 - A stunning Gothic Revival side table attributed to John Henry Chamberlain & made by Pluknett & Steevens who later became Collier & Pluknett & they were still producing this table design as I have had one with a Collier & Pluknett label on so this is a very early one & the best looking sidetable that they produced with wonderful proportions & when one stands a little away from it, it has a stunning look with that superbly muscular Gothic Revival undercarriage with all the refinement of a wonderful design. Collier & Pluknett were a very high end company who had premises in Warick & they produced some amazing Gothic Revival pieces & many exhibition pieces always of a superior quality. coincidently the young Ambrose Heal served his apprenticeship with them from 1890 to 1893 just before he started designing for Heals. Height 27", Width 24", Depth 24". Circa 1880. £SOLD.
