Rare Pair of George III Mahogany Inlaid Bedsides %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
Circa 1790. Stylish pair of George III mahogany bow fronted and inlaid bedside cabinets, possibly by ‘Gillows of Lancaster’ the bow fronted tops with a stylish string inlayed ¾ gallery ,with boxwood and ebony on the top and elegant pierced lifting handles to the sides, the front with a single bow door with string inlay with canted corners opens to reveal an uninterrupted interior with inlay above and below the door similar to the gallery, all resting on 4 square tapering legs, the polished gables and back making them free standing. Providence this pair of bedside cabinets came from Montgomerie House home to the ‘12th Earl of Edmonton’. ‘Gillows of Lancaster’ supplied a lot of the furniture for this property.

Montgomerie House
Hugh Montgomerie, 12th Earl of Eglinton, built Coilsfield House, later Montgomerie House on the site of Coilsfield Castle in 1801. Robert Burns wrote about Coilsfield and the Montgomerie family in his poems about Mary Campbell (Highland Mary). The property passed into the Arthur family in around 1900 and subsequently burnt down after the Arthur family sold it in 1969 but fortunately, they retained some of the furniture and furnishings.
Hugh Montgomerie commissioned furniture from Gillow in 1794 for Eglinton Castle.
Archibald Montgomerie commissioned Gillows to supply furniture in 1800 and multiple orders thereafter for both Coilsfield House and Eglinton Castle. Examples from the house are mentioned and illustrated in Susan E Stuart: Gillows of Lancaster and London 1730-1840, Cabinetmakers and International Merchants, published in 2009. Gillows attached labels to some of the pieces including a luggage stand and dressing table mirror included in the sale.
