BP).This design of these oval wine-cisterns embellished in the Grecian or Pompeian manner with reeded columns was supplied both with and without a hinged cover by Gillows, whose earliest sketch for an oval lead-lined cistern features in their 1787 Estimate Sketch Book (see: L. Boynton, Gillow Furniture Designs 1760-1800, Royston, 1995, fig. 178). A similar wine-cooler with a fluted cover, was formerly in the collection of the Earls of Stradbroke at Henham Hall, Suffolk, a house designed by James Wyatt in the 1790s. The Wyatt family were closely associated with the Gillows firm and James Wyatt supplied designs to the firm as early as 1774. A related example is illustrated in R. Edwards and P. Macquoid, The Dictionary of English Furniture, London, rev. ed., 1954, vol. I, p. 223, fig. 9Condition Report Disclaimer
