    An elegantly proportioned writing desk attributed to William Vile is the top lot at the James Adam  Sunday Interiors auction in Dublin on June 14.  The late George II serpentine fronted desk, made c1755, is estimated at 18,000-22,000.

    The sale is particularly strong in fine furniture, which comprise the top seven lots.  A fine Regency circular dining table possibly made by William Trotter of Edinburgh, is estimated at 15,000 -20,000 and an exceptionally well made George IV breakfront bookcase by James Winter & Sons estimated at 10,000 -15,000.

    Though William Vile is considered one of the best English cabinetmakers of the Georgian era his name is overshadowed by Thomas Chippendale.
