The present lot relates to the sofa tables and games-tables popularised by Gillows around 1810 - 20. These often features sliding games boards which concealed a well fitted for backgammon, and with rounded ends, often hinged as in the present case. Gillows supplied two rosewood sofa tables of related design in 1813 to John Gladstone, one of which featured the backgammon board, and the fashionable shape of the top was exploited elsewhere in the case of a rosewood table with brass gallery, fixed, rather than hinged ends, and spindle supports (Susan Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London 1730 - 1840, Woodbridge, 2008, pp.265-267, pl.270 and 272, and p.301, pl.329).
