Fine Gillows George IV Goncalo Alves Tripod Table

Creator: Gillows of Lancaster & London
Offered by: Michael Pashby Antiques

Description
The beaded-edged circular top above a turned column and hipped legs decorated with graduated beading, terminating with ball feet.

Although of similar appearance to and of often mistaken for mahogany, Goncalo Alves is a member of the satinwood family and has a particularly lustrous finish.

Gillows, who transported and imported much of the timber for their furniture, used Goncalo Alves for some of their finest pieces and recorded the design for this piece in the Gillows' Estimate Sketch Books, folio 3333, dated February 12th, 1824, and described it as a "circular fly table 19 in. diam."
