Gillows of Lancaster and London, founded by Robert Gillow about 1730, was one of the greatest cabinet making firms of England. In family ownership until the early nineteenth century, Gillows supplied furniture until late in the century. Although not currently as well known as the othergreats of the time Chippendale, Adam, Linnel, and Mayhew as well as Hepplewhite and Sheraton, Gillows developed a thriving business importing their own woods from the Carribean, designing and manufacturing a full range of furniture, providing decorating services, and althought based in the North had a large and successful retail establishement in the center of London.
As an indication of their success, they not only supplied the nobility and gentry of the United Kingdom for over 150 years but also had a thriving network of agents supplying continental Europe, North and South America as well as Australia, New Zealand and the Caribbean.
Authentic pieces of Gillows furniture, some of which are signed by the firm, are a guarantee of superior design and unsurpassed quality.
We are proud to always have a wide range of Gillows pieces available.
