Item Description / Dealer Expertise

A superb William & Mary period Kingwood oyster veenered and Rosewood fall front escritoire, in the manner of the London cabinetmaker Thomas Pistor of Ludgate Hill.

Later brass handles and bun feet.

PISTOR
Type Artist/Maker
Country of origin Ludgate Hill
Started working Circa 1690

A major article on Thomas Pistor and his son, also Thomas, was published in the Journal of the Furniture History Society “Furniture History” in 2000 and was researched and written by Adriana Turpin. She rightly states that Pistor’s work is on a par with the Royal Cabinetmakers John Gumley and Gerrit Jensen and indeed all three worked for Colonel James Grahme who was a high ranking courtier to James II. Sadly, we cannot trace for whom this cabinet on chest was made but the possibility exists of a royal or near royal provenance. See FHS Journal 2000 pp 43 to 60
