Description: | This mahogany breakfast bookcase was made by Messrs Gillow of Lancaster and bears their stamp on one of the drawers concealed by the cupboard doors in the base. It is believed to have come from the Gillow family home, Leighton Hall, near Carnforth. It is carved with many classical motifs including the owl of Minerva and the winged Egyptian spinx. Egyptian motifs were a new fashion in the Regency era. Each piece of glass in the doors has been individually cut to shape. | Publisher: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.uk/ | Rights holder: | North Lincolnshire Council Image Archive | Subjects: | Normanby Buildings_and_Structures Places Normanby_Hall 1960's Halls_and_Houses Interior_features | Source: | North Lincolnshire Museums | Identifier: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.... | Go to resource |
