Fitted with a leather writing surface above two short drawers. One drawer stamped 'T. Wilson, 68 Great Queen Street, London'.

30 1/2 x 42 1/4 x 29 3/4 in.

Note: Thomas Wilson is recorded as a furniture broker and appraiser at 68 Great Queen Street between 1821-29, and is probably the same Thomas Wilson recorded as an auctioneer at the same address from 1799-1837.  From 1830-1837 the business was continued by his widow Mary and his son Matthew using the stamp 'M. Wilson', and after 1838 Matthew is listed alone at the Great Queen Street address. It was commonly believed that Thomas Wilson was solely a dealer in second-hand furniture who used his stamp as a means of identification. The rare and seldom seen paper label used by the firm states that he was a cabinet-maker as well as a broker. The label is illustrated in C. Gilbert, Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture, 1730-1840, Leeds, 1996, p. 483, pl. 989.
