BY WILLIAMS AND GIBTON, CIRCA 1830

The partnership of John Mack, Zachariah Williams, and William Gibton traded together from 1810 in Stafford Street, Dublin until John Mack's death in 1829, when Williams and Gibton continued to work together until the death of Gibton in 1842.

A pair of related fluted columnar pier tables, bearing the trade label of Mack, Williams and Gibton and stamped 'D2583', are illustrated in A. Alexander, 'A Firm of Dublin Cabinet-Makers Mack, Williams & Gibton', Irish Arts Review Yearbook, vol. II, 1995, pp. 146-147, figs. 10 and 11. They also share the beed-and-reel enriched frieze and rectangular pilasters to the reverse, a favoured motif of the firm between 1829 and 1842, also seen on the great dining-room serving-table and hall table at Dublin Castle which date from earlier in the partnership (ibid., figs. 12 and 13).
