Note from Tim Corfield, antiques advisor to Betty and Gordon Moore at Mountain Meadow:

Of a type often associated with Gillows, this example of a partners desk is by the well-known London cabinet maker James Winter. It is freestanding and unusually has drawers on both sides and nicely panelled ends. It has vertical locking bars to each bank of drawers. Superb regency quality draw linings band a good replaced leather top.
