Hello from AlexandriaVA just down the highway from the pentagon ! I enjoyed the podcast and I am just lest the furniture side of things. 😊
Hi, regards from Spain, i hope you can tell me the completle name of the woodworker who made that Roll Royce. Beatiful Masterclass from a nice man, Regards, Mario
You sir are the David Attenborough of cabinets and furniture!
Thank you so much for your kind comment. I am not sure how much Sir David Attenborough would like to be known as the David Harvey of the Environment World! David Harvey
I have enough trouble squaring up a board with nice power tools in a nice shop with good lighting. It blows my mind how someone could build such a beautiful work of art with hand tools.
That is craftsmanship without the modern tools we have today. Amazing!
Thank you so much for your observation. When this was made the cabinetmaker would have worked by daylight and candlelight. David Harvey
This is awesome 👌
So glad you enjoyed this video Masterclass. I hope you will also enjoy many of the others I have provided on my Channel. David Harvey
What a charming man. I am reminded of Arthur Negus, knowledgeable, quietly enthusiastic, and urbane. As for the piece being discussed, perfection!
Really appreciate this presentation!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about this cabinet of Gillows! Outstanding! ❤
We are currently putting all 3 parts of this review of the Gillows Secretaire Library Cabinet into a single video so viewers can go seamlessly from one part to another. It should be available soon. Thank you for your interest. David Harvey.
gorgeous piece 🥰🥰🥰

i need to see the other part 🤗 im excited!
Very interesting. I have a question please. What direct influence did the royal family have on the design styles? Did they work directly with designers and "approve" the trends of styles? I can find little on what imput the royals had on design and to what degree. Many thanks these videos are very insightful.
A remarkable bit of workmanship. A truly stunning piece that would make any owner so proud to share with guests. This type of work just isn’t done anymore. A shame really. Today in the custom furniture world you are charged so much more for so little. All you get are ugly modern pieces without charm, function, or surprise. Thank you so much for sharing this Gillows masterpiece.

What a stunning piece, how I wish it were mine. Thank you David, hope you are well
I love these installments. What a magnificent piece!
This is magnificent! Can't thank you enough for sharing it.
Gillows certainly built a beautiful desk with generous features. So much time went into the selection of materials and manufacture of this piece. Remarkable.
Thank you so much for doing these descriptive, insightful and inspiring, and very informative stories about fine English furniture. I make fine furniture now that I am retired, and just love to hear your enthusiastic descriptions of the furniture. You have a special way of doing this. I could listen to you for hours. Thank you.

love love those chairs
I'm so glad you're doing a deep dive on this piece, it deserves it, and I'm looking forward to learning more. I can't help imagining all the bits and pieces I've gathered over a long life stored in those drawers. I don't know that I need secret compartments, at least not yet. Thanks so much.

Oh I love Gillows!
You are not the only one! David Harvey
On your website you have extra images. In those images there are little brass wheels of some kind. What is the function of those wheels?
Thank you for your e-mails and the centre door opens with folio dividers behind. The brass wheels are on the baize lined slide to ensure it retracts and runs smoothly. There is an image of the piece's back on the website . To lower the double rising top it needs to be raised slightly to release the easel stands and then lowered in two stages. I hope this is all helpful and the next 2 videos should further explain this magnificent cabinet. David Harvey
@@WRHarveyAntiquesLtd thank you. When I got onto your website I noticed you mention you would divide this video into three parts. I am very excited to see the next two about this wonderful design. Thank you for the reply.
What is inside the little door at the center?
Stunning. Please take more time to show us the rest of this magnificent piece. What does the rear case work look like? How are the drawers in the cabinet constructed. What’s is the process for lowering the raised work space? What a wonderful design. Thank you.
Ive been clicking on, and thumb'sing up every woodworking video for months, why am I only seeing this now?! Cmon youtube! DO BETTER! SUBBED!

Awesome
So glad you are enjoying the masterclasses. There are plenty more Masterclasses to come. David Harvey
I find this channel really valuable, and it's become my favorite. The tutorials on antique furniture are incredibly helpful. Thank you!
Happy to hear that! Always more than glad to spread the word! David Harvey
ça ressemble beaucoup au style restauration en France
Thank you for your comments. The similarity in styles will be echoed by many viewing this Masterclass Video. David Harvey
love it ....beautiful
Thank you for youe kind message. This is, as you rightly say, very beautiful. Keep watching for more editions of the Masterclass Videos. David Harvey
Perhaps because I'm an admirer of Henry James, I can so see this elegant piece in Lamb House, his home in Rye. Were it mine, it would contain my collection of his works. With its proportions, and simplicity of design, it would work in so many settings.
This elegant piece is still available if you should decide to buy it. Full details are available on my website at: wrharvey.com/product/george-iii-satinwood-etagere/ David Harvey
thank you for all that you do!
I always try to put the subjects of my Masterclass Videos in the appropriate context for the time when they were created. Thank you so much for your interest. David Harvey
Thank you so much for showing us this simple but so elegant piece of furniture designed by the great Thomas Chippendale. Regards.
Many thanks for your kind message. I do enjoy sharing a lifetime of learning about these pieces with other interested parties. David Harvey
Great video, thank you David, and what a beautiful piece, hope you have a wonderful Easter, all the best
Many thanks!So glad you are enjoying the masterclass videos. Many more to come. David Harvey
Very lovely ❤ - Happy Easter 🐣
Thank you! Cheers! So glad you are enjoying the masterclass videos. Many more to come. David Harve
To think the tree that was built out of was probably alive before Columbus...
What a wonderful piece! Sometimes, like in this case, the natural beauty of the timber makes any ornament or artificial embellishments superfluous. Thank you very much! Greetings from Argentina.
Thank you very much! So glad you are enjoying the Masterclass Series. There are more still to come. David Harvey
A magnificent piece of furniture and a wonderful presentation. Thank you so much!
Our pleasure! David Harvey
Oh, i need something like this
This Bookcase is still available and can be viewed on our website at: wrharvey.com/product/regency-mahogany-and-ebony-library-bookcase/ David Harvey
An exceptional piece, and I would lose myself in your library of reference books. I enjoyed the information about the maker, it really brings the piece to life. Thank-you.
Glad you enjoyed it - we get a real sense of achievement from the Masterclass Videos with more still to come. David Harvey
Very nice piece. One detail not mentioned are the Bramah locks on this piece. Another sign of quality.
Good point! The escutcheons are typical for Bramah locks though they are not signed and the locks are not spring-loaded.
Another very informative video, and a pleasure to see such a high quality piece.
Many thanks! The bookcase is exceptional quality and you can see all the details on our website at: wrharvey.com/product/regency-mahogany-and-ebony-library-bookcase/ David Harvey

Hello! I am trying to learn old fashion and things back then like objects at a young age. It's nice and cool to learn these amazing things from years ago!
Such beautiful form. I love sabre legs before they added the knees. That piece would fit in most anywhere. Thanks!
You're so welcome! We are now fiming the next set of Video Masterclasses which will be available over the forthcoming months. Keep watching out for them. David Harvey
Would you say the knobs are original? Their close proximity to the keyholes made me wonder if they were a trifle on the large side.
They are certainly of the correct type for the period and have been on the table for many years but as to whether they are replacements, you may be right. We are now filming the next set of Video Masterclasses which will be available over the forthcoming months. Keep watching out for them. David Harvey
