This magnificent Regency mahogany breakfront bookcase stands as a monumental testament to the period’s architectural and artistic ingenuity. Its origins within the Duchy of Lancaster reveals an important heritage, undoubtedly crafted by the eminent and local firm Gillows of Lancaster. Gillows reputation for producing furniture of the highest quality, with unparalleled attention to detail, is clearly reflected in this piece. The era, marked by the Prince Regent’s influence, embraced classical motifs, which are subtly integrated into the bookcase’s grandeur and functionality.
