[QUOTE="Crossy, post: 9939884, member: 88577"]Evening all! I have recently purchased this gorgeous kidney desk at an estate auction in Australia, I believe it could be by Gillows but I am unsure as it is unmarked. It’s certainly of English make with cedar construction, over all very finely made. There are five locks to the drawers of the lower section each by Bramah, and I can date them to post 1887 with the marks. The top of the desk has a dropping door that when is locked, all the top drawers are locked, and when lowered unlocks. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts/knowledge on the possible origin of this piece?[ATTACH=full]499252[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]499253[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]499254[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]499255[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]499256[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]499257[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]499258[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]499259[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
