Object Description
Large antique dining table made by Gillow of Lancaster and London, this table has an exceptionally strong mechanism and stands on only six legs which are tucked away from the edge of the table to provide maximum leg room in typical Gillow fashion. The top is made of very fine figured mahogany with an interesting grain pattern and banding round the edge. The mechanism is stamped with the makers name and the order number.
