Lot Essay

The brothers George and Samuel Gillington are recorded at various addresses and in various partnerships from 1815 to 1838, their warehouses were mostly in Abbey Street and this inevitably lead to confusion with the other well-known firm of Mack and Gibton, who also traded from there. George Gillington's trade card begged it 'to be observed that his house is in the narrow part of Abbey Str.' (D. Fitzgerald, 'Dublin Directories and Trade Labels;, Furniture History, 1985, p.266).
