A Regency rosewood and parcel-gilt sectional bookcase with moulded cornice and open shelves flanked by lotus headed pilasters with brass grille doors on plinth base, stamped W Priest 17-24 Water St. Blackfriars -- 158in. (404cm.) wide.
W.Priest is recorded at 17-24 Water St. Blackfriars, 1837-9, and described his business variously as a 'Furniture Warehouse' specializing in 'Office and Library Furniture' and it is likely that he stamped goods passing through his hands rather than actually manufactured by him.
