A marquetry gilt-brass-mounted side cabinet circa 1872, by Gillow & Co.

including thuya, sycamore and walnut veneers, the super-structure with a mirror panel back, the central pair of doors with brim tied musical trophies on ebonised grounds enclosing two shelves, the ogee shaped sides with a pair of glazed doors enclosing velvet lined interiors

A very similar design for a side cabinet in the Louis XVI taste was published by Gillow in March 1867 and is recorded in the Estimate Sketch books, preserved in the Westmister City archives, roll 344/108, folio 7237.  The present cabinet was undoubtedly made between 1871 and 1872 according to the numbering system used by Gillows.
